Hi Harry,
This morning there was a news feature on Baltimore, MD TV. In it the East African snail infestation that you brought to our attention in "Therrrrrr Backkkkkk" was featured. There was a doctor in FL who said that one should wear rubber gloves to pick one up due to the worm that they carry which migrates the human brain. That no cure was known for the brain worm infection. Any comments on this?
I fear that the news broadcast up here will cause people to kill any snails that they find. The reproter "had" to leave the set after the feature because it made her sick.
Matt
