I only eat them in the deer blind, but after a couple of days out it can get too much salt.

Yup.  It reminded me of the burn you'd get from dipping snuff too often.

Those things are fattening too.

Yes. I have torn my tongue up with those things. I keep going back to them though. I like to eat them while I'm on the riding mower. It takes me over two hours to cut my lawn so the seeds give me something else to do while I'm cutting.

A guy I work with ate them every day for years on end.  He ended up getting 2 feet of his intestine removed as the seeds impacted in pockets in his intestine.   I rarely eat them now after that.

Mak,

You friend has a disorder called Diverticulitis. Basically little pockets in the colon.  People with Diverticulitis are not supposed to ead nuts or seeds for that very reason.

No he wasn't eating the hulls.  I new someone that did all the time though.  I heard onece of a person going to the doctor with stomach pains,  the doctor pushes in on the persons abdomen and hears a crunch noise.  They open the person up and there is a mass of sunflower hulls.

But he didn't know that at the time.   My dad had that and I figured I probably could also, not real keen on getting a colonoscopy done though.
