I remember those slimy bastards from American Samoa. They, and the frogs, would come out of everywhere when it rained. They would get run over on the roads, and when the sun came back out the smell was terrible as they would cook on the blacktop.
Turn the kids loose with salt shakers they’ll have them whipped out in no time
They probably brought that shit here.
Take a parasitiology class and you'll never eat snails again.
How have I made it into my sixth decade?
It's been 35 years so forgotten most but snails are intermediate hosts for a lot of parasites. Schistosomiasis, liver flukes, etc. I'm sure the risk is low but I just ain't eating 'em.
