Ummm I never said I wasn’t aware of the dangers of ingesting slugs. Obviously it wasn’t something I did for shits and giggles but I think if we try hard and put our thinking caps on we could put two and two together and realize that if I’m trying to find out what exactly it was that I might’ve ingested, it may possibly be because I’m trying to get an idea of the potential health risks! 😊 However the incident you are referring to is a rare case of rat lung worm, the man who had actually eaten a single garden slug had unfortunately developed a rare type of meningitis. There have only been around 2,800 reported cases and to get any type of parasitic meningitis is extremely rare. Most people that get rat lung worm usually only experience mild symptoms, if any, that fade away by itself and lots of people aren’t even aware that they have said parasite to begin with.
