Damn, Where do these things come from? How did they
make it here? Are they deadly or harmful to humans/
animals, etc.?

As a beekeeper, the challenge of keeping your bees free of other parasitic or destructive insects, without killing your bees at the same time is brutal. And fwiw to the people who say we're all gonna die because bees are dying, the honeybee is an invasive species brought to the America's by European settlers.

just try to kill the bug inside the trachea of your bees and not kill the bee? Or the Veroa mite (tick on bee), and not kill the bee?

The parasite is a nematode, Angiostrongylus cantonensis. AKA Rat Lungworm.

Nope. The parasite is a nematode. There are no insects that parasitize molluscs.
