That is a big snail. And it’s already eaten one finger and half his hand.

"Sell them to the French."I like your idea better. My first instinct was that we need giant French men to take care of this problem. But then I realized I'd rather put up with the snails.

The snails also carry a parasitic rat lungworm that can cause illness in humans, including a form of meningitis
You can have my share.
Check out the diseases that chickens, swine, and cattle carry - fortunately, cooking renders them safely edible. Still working on That Crutchfield Jacobs thing.

"Why do somthing that has a high know risk associated with it. Parasite eggs are particularly difficult to kill. From the comments on this thread some of my fellow freepers are seriously deficient in their mental ability to parse risk and reward." Pretty much everything as some or other "high known risk". About these snails, we have insufficient data to draw a conclusion. The specific data needed is how cooking effects the potential pathogens. If cooking kills'em, then the risk is minimal.........JUST like eating pork (or bear meat).

Where I live in Maryland near the woods we get our houses invaded by the stinkbugs from May to mid July with some in the winter too before that but in less #s, then they disappear to their mating cycle for another year.
No poison deters them or kills them easily. They stink if you squash them or even alarm them. They show up on my bed, computer, counters even in with the dishes if I leave the cup board open. I rolled over and squashed one on the bed a week ago.
From China most likely.

Check that, they ARE illegal aliens. Doesn’t matter that they aren’t human, the shoe fits. Time to deport them, to snail hell, via a fancy French restaurant.
Stink bugs sound like even more fun!
Up here in the frozen reaches of Chicago we only have to deal with normal pests like rats, roaches and carpenter ants.

“Check that, they ARE illegal aliens”
Great point!
I’ve never been to a French restaurant. I si have snails one though; they were so loaded up with garlic, that’s all that you could taste.

I hate garlic. Most people like it, many LOVE it. I HATE it. Onions too. The whole family.
Muslims love it, even though in their mythology, garlic and onions first grew in the garden of eden, right under where Satan had his 2 feet planted. Funny people, Muslims.

I like garlic in certain dishes. My sister makes an excellent lasagna HEAVY on the garlic.
OTOH, my g/f uses virtually no garlic in her cooking.
Saving the best for last, my Mom had an ulcer, so while she like moderate amounts of garlic, she paid for it. She had a green bean/olive oil/garlic dish that I love.
Onions: Again, depends on the dish. I like them in grilled kabobs. My Mom also had a green pepper/mushroom/onion sauce that I love. I have a container of it in the freezer.
I was not aware that the Islamos loved it. Eh, f**k them.
