How to Survive When Lost in the Jungle
__________________________________________________

1. Find water.
   If you do not have the means to purify water, cut sections from large water vines or cut banana trees and capture the water welling out of the stalks. Drink water from streams and rivers only as a last resort, as this water will most likely give you diarrhea.


2. Eat only foods that you can peel or cook.
   Avoid brightly colored plants or plants with a milky sap (many of these are poisonous). Insects, grubs, and raw fish (except those with bristles or spines rather than scales) are safe to eat. Peel fruits before eating; the peels may harbor diarrhea-causing bacteria.
