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.
Water is a major component of what opossums need to stay healthy and strong, but it's far from the only thing they need. The sturdy creatures readily consume varied diets that are made up of elements such as tiny rodents, snakes, frogs, birds, vegetables, nuts, grass, decaying animal carcasses and chickens.
