they can carry meningitis

There goes the possibility of eradication via a good gumbo recipe...

It’s obvious that Obama or one of his dorky minions once touched a member of that snail family years ago...and the poor snails were infected.

“They carry a parasitic disease that can cause a lot of harm to humans and sometimes even death.”

The parasite is called rat lungworm which is a form of meningitis.

The snails, researchers warn, are potentially dangerous to touch, in part because they can carry meningitis. Scientists have warned anyone who comes in contact with them to wash their hands thoroughly.

Wait so am I dead... is this the after life?.. Cause when I grew up in Africa whenever it rained there were dozens of these guys around and we all played with them as kids...

At least they didn’t advise everyone to run to higher ground if you see one....

“Deadly Giant Snail...”

I guess that was one 1950’s big bug movie that didn’t get made. Probably because it was too laughably difficult to make a giant snail seem menacing. Even one as big as a house.

For a really hokey movie monster, there’s “The Giant Claw”. They ran low on funds so the special effects budget got slashed and the scary bird-like monster ended up being a goofy looking puppet sewn together by a French puppeteer. Pictures at the link.

If you should see one, “shelter in place”, call SWAT. When the authorities arrive, mistake you for a snail and blow you away you won’t have to fear getting meningitis.
