Bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil and add the rice and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Return to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the rice to a bowl.
Opossums stop the spread of Lyme disease because they kill up to 4,000 ticks a week. Claims about possums and ticks are mostly true â but the amount of ticks one possum kills in a week has been skewed.
Opossums are primarily scavengers and will feed on carrion â in fact, many opossums are killed on the road while feeding on other roadkill. Opossums will also eat insects, frogs, various types of fruit, earthworms, garbage and even the waste of other animals. The opossum is most commonly found in areas with a lot of low lying cover and is well adapted to living among human dwellings in cities.
