Oh great... now I am going to worry that every snail I see is just waiting for a chance to rush out and stab me with a venomous barb!

The horror... the horror...

Killer Cone Snails

By the way, I've seen teenagers eat like that... ;-)

No, not every snail. Just these ones, and their danger is relative to their size (i.e. the bigger they are, the more potent the venom).

Conus snails in the ocean have some interesting toxins to read up on.
But the mental image of a snail wearing snail gang colors and threatening people is amusing.
