This is dangerous. I don't think you need to eat the snail itself, just food the snail or slung has crawled on. It can be in the snail trail. I try to know where my produce comes from, some areas of the island do not have this yet, buy food from safe areas. Wash all produce including fruit feeling for anything slippery. If you feel something slippery throw the food away even if you do not find a snail or slug.

This is a horrible thing to catch and nothing to joke about. Some people with the disease choose to end their lives rather than put up with the pain and suffering.
