This reminds me of one of the worst parasites (many contenders), which is rat lungworm don't look it up, but some poor fool ate a slug and caught an infection, then went into a coma for about a month and spent the next ~8 years disabled, living in bed, in and out of hospitals, but mostly coherent and aware until he went to sleep for the last time. He was around 28 years old when he died.
Pretty horrific and you can catch probably a lesser infection from eating unwashed lettuce if rat lungworms are in the area of your food source (they've been spreading), but um. Just don't eat animals, that's an easy way to reduce the risk of catching something nasty. Which is actual
in this example.
Thats what makes snails dangerous as well, horrifying shit
Always gonna check my lettuce
This reminds me I should look up how to wash vegetables effectively because I'm pretty sure the cursory rinse I do does jack shit
