If I had a “bucket list”, going to Hawaii would’ve been removed.

They are from San Francisco. Doesn’t that automatically make them brain-infecting parasites?

Further info for folks in or visiting Hawaii- Basically do NOT eat locally grown vegetables, or certain shellfishes or crabs- do NOT handle slugs- keeps kids away from slugs- avoid rat crap- if playing outside- wash thoroughly when you get inside-

So basically you take a vacation in Haweaii and end up working the whole time trying to avoid rat lungworm disease

A. cantonensis has many vectors, with the most common being several species of snails. Freshwater prawns, crabs, or other paratenic, or transport, hosts can also act as vectors.

Originally introduced to Hawaii for food in 1956, most people haven’t eaten a Tahitian Prawn (Macrobrachium lar) before. They are ubiquitous throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

I saw a show on the Discovery channel about this issue. A young college student volunteered to go to Hawaii to help in a public garden project. He ate raw vegies from the garden that had snail/slug trails on it. I believe the student ended up dying from the parasites that he ingested.

YUCK! Never eat SUSHI! Cook your food!

Rat lungworm disease is caused by parasite that impacts rats that then excrete worm larvae. Slugs and snails consume the larvae, which are then passed on to humans who eat raw produce, freshwater shrimp or land crabs that contain traces of the worms, according to Hawaii News Now. The parasitic worms trigger a rare meningitis that affects the brain and spinal cord.

They probably took the organism TO Hawaii, not the other way around.
