Caught and eaten plenty of yabbies and fish from these water holes and farm dams, and swimming too. Never suffered any ill effects amongst friends and relatives. A good way to build immunity.

I too have eaten heaps of yabbies from farm dams and the like.
Never a problem.
Once the p** cord is removed and boiled quickly in hot water should clear a lot of the bacteria that may be there.
Of course one has to be wary of obviously stagnant waters and those covered with algae.
At the end of the day common sense must prevail.
Also, what guarantee is there the foods we buy off the shelf at the supermarkets are safe anymore?
With so much food on Aussie store shelves these days coming from overseas, how do we know what we are eating.
An example is with packaged fish, it is hard to find the word "Basa" sometimes, to avoid buying that awful imported product.
The same with prawns, there are so many dodgy imported prawn imposters on sale to catch us out with inferior product.
