Can vegetarians eat their scabs?

Anyone can, no one should. Scabs trap virus and infection and prevent them from entering the body through an open wound. Eating them is defeating all of the work the scab has performed by deliberately placing the potentially diseased tissue directly into the body. Anyone who considers eating a scab whether vegetarian or otherwise is seriously in need of mental help. Its not just a question of whether its meat, its the simple fact that scabs serve a purpose, to protect the body from getting sick. Eating them is very likely to cause sickness and will temporarily reduce a persons immune system. Its not question of vegetarianism, its simple understanding of health and hygiene, you do not eat scabs, they are not food.
