Florida, already full of terrifying animals and critters, is now battling massive invasive snails. African land snails were first detected in the state in 2011. They can grow to be the size of a human hand. Just recently, they were detected in Pasco County and the area was quickly quarantined. University of Florida professor and nuisance wildlife expert Dr. William Kern told Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall why the mollusks can be so harmful.

Just pour salt on them.
Rat Lung Worm is such a metal name for a parasite.

THE SNAILS ATE MY DOG, OH GOD THEYRE BURNING THE CITY
Solution: Don’t eat snails
I'm from Ghana and my aunt has had these as pets for a very long time. But i never knew they were so dangerous
I bought some succulents at Kroger in northwest Ohio 😂
I plucked a good 40+ of them off and took them home
I tried feeding them what I fed my other land snails (sweet potatoes, kale, cucumbers, grapes, spinach, romaine, calcium in the form of cuttlefish bone) and they all died within a month 🙁
They were VERY small and probably weak.
They had a large terrarium that had never housed any other critter, I misted it and had the proper temperature set.
I really had high hopes.
And…if you choose to keep them as pets you can. You have to “purge” snails from the wild before you can handle them casually, but once they’re purged it’s standard precautionary measures.
This is why Im not a vegan fr
What doesn't Florida have a problem with lol
2:25 Getting rid of worms like it (well I had a relative) means you get put on high doses of Metronidazole. I looked it up and it is supporting chemo, that is why I felt so bad. Extremely toxic so it does kill the bugs. Also carcinogenic.
Its not the snails, or the rats who destroy – Its the humans
Yyyyyyyyyyyreeeeeegggggiii
it's a problem in Trinidad and Tobago. I accidentally stepped on one on work a few hours later, I'm literally looking at 3, probably eating the one I've stepped on whilsttyping this comment. one way I discovered to take them out is a corkfull of bleach. though I'm planning on buying one of those water guns and load it with bleach. anywhere I see them (squirt squirt)
Everybody talking about their experiences, but nobody talking about the reason for this video is basically telling you “Do Not Eat Snails”. How helpful, totally NOT a waste of time 🙂

African giant snail is delicious😋 crispy or grilled cooking 😋 as a jungle people you need to survive😊
The huge difference between the rat and the human is that human can cook unlike ratatouille…

They’re dangerous? I just adopted one that I found after some serious gardening was done in our new yard. I don’t want to get rid of Gary😭
They spawn everywhere after summer rain
Question, Only african giant snail or all kinds in the world?
0:34 the snail consumes flowers.
Lungs.
Is a crow smarter?
I live in Florida and I have not seen a single snail for years. Florida is too polluted to sustain them. Human overpopulation is far more dangerous than snails.
