When a person is faced with a fight for survival they would do anything to stay alive, even if that means eating frogs. 

An autistic man has been rescued from the remote Escalante Utah desert after surviving at least three weeks alone in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.8 degrees Celsius by eating roots and frogs.
