I have been to many of the jungles around the world and your right many of the palms are similar. The problem is you have to know what you are looking for. You may cut down a palm to find its not got a big heart like a heart of palm or cut a vine to find its not a water vine. This would be a real waste of energy in a survival situation.

That's a mith, Parana will only take small creatures alive, they wont touch you even if you have a cut. One of the guys got quite a bad gash from a submerged tree in the river and they didn't eat him.
