163928644 story Officials in Florida are again battling a highly invasive, extraordinarily destructive giant snail species that also happens to be capable of spreading parasitic worms that invade human brains. From a report:
The giant African land snail (GALS) -- aka Lissachatina fulica -- can grow up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) long and is considered "one of the most invasive pests on the planet," according to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. It ravenously feasts on over 500 plant species -- including many valuable fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals -- while prolifically spawning, pushing out several thousand eggs in its multiyear life span. The state of Florida confirmed the presence of GALS on a property in the west-central coast of the state. They began snail-killing pesticide treatments last week, after setting up a Quarantine Zone around the property. The snails are a grave threat to agriculture and the mollusks pose a health risk. They're known to transmit rat lungworm parasites, which can cause a disease called Meningitis. People are warned not to handle mammoth snails without gloves.
