You do have to take into consideration that many, if not most of these "guides" date back to the early days of the Internet. I first saw them on Usenet in the mid-1990s and they were rather dated then. Most seem to be 5 percent fact, 20 percent fluff and 75 percent made-up nonsense. Some seem to have been written strictly for the shock value.
I would say 'use them at your own risk' but there is more risk to the animals involved than to the humans in most cases.
