MIAMI (AP) -- Devotees of a Miami man who claims to practice a traditional African religion say they were sickened when they drank the mucus of a giant African snail.
Federal authorities in January raided Charles L. Stewart's home after receiving complaints. Stewart has not been criminally charged, but prosecutors and state and federal wildlife agencies are investigating.
The giant African snail is prohibited in the U.S. without special approval.

I, for one, am sickened just reading about it. But it is pretty funny that someone would drink snail goo.

Anyone stupid enough to drink snail mucus is too stupid to live, anyway.
Getting sick serves them right and they should thank God it wasn’t worse.

This is probably one of the most dangerous things you can eat uncooked. Land snails are vectors for some of the most wicked parasites in the world. There are some that will hatch out in your stomach and burrow into your body till reaching the brain and feast on it till you’re dead. Not a good way to go.

Boy, I’d like to contact these “devotees” regarding some prime Florida swampland I’m selling.

It looks like they all got some of the parasites you mention. FTA: Followers said they got violently ill, losing weight and developing strange lumps in their stomachs.
