As the article indicates, you shouldn't oughta eat these things, garlic butter or no garlic butter. There's plenty of stories of people eating these and getting deathly ill.

We had these little gems on Guam when I was stationed there in the late 70's. Running over them with the lawnmower was almost like running over big rocks. You had to do a sweep of the lawn before mowing to clear them all out.

Ought not to be a problem if you cook them thoroughly... and I bet a couple-three of these would make a nice pot of chowder.

Sounds like some enterprising soul needs to develop the snail equivalent of the "cattle guards" they used to mount to the front of trains. Bolt a couple of straight-tined rake heads across the front of yer mower. Probably need a triangular shape to assure they get pushed to the sides.
