Various people on here saying about eating woodlice. I do know that traditionally they are a cure for indigestion, since their bodies are manly made of calcium carbonate, which neutralises the excess stomach acid. It works. Unfortunately you need to eat a good handfull of them, and it works best with live ones as they break down rapidly after death. Live ones produce oils which make them taste bad so it isn't a particularly nice experience.
You might prefer to have indigestion.
Oh yes, and if you believe the wisdom of the ancient greek sages, then swallowing one of those enormous Tegenaria house spiders (live, of course) is a sure-fire cure for all manner of ills, from headaches to general malaise. Can't say I'm convinced. Besides, house spiders taste better if you roast them first.
