Invasive snails spotted in Pasco County may cause meningitis in humans, Florida officials warn
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Did you know some snails can cause meningitis? The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is warning Pasco County to beware of the giant African land snail (GALS) that can carry a rare rat lungworm called Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which may cause meningitis in humans, according to the state’s recent "Pest Alert.""The giant African land snail … is one of the most invasive pests on the planet, causing agricultural and environmental damage wherever it is found," the report added.  After receiving notice of a "possible" population of the snail in New Port Richey, Pasco County on June 21, FDACS said a property survey confirmed the presence of a white form of the giant African land snail two days later. "The phenotype in Pasco County has a creamy white flesh as opposed to the grey-ish brown flesh of the phenotype that was eradicated in the Miami area," said Erin M. Moffet, FDACS’s communications director.  INVASIVE SNAIL THAT LOVES DAMAGING PLANTS, LIVING IN HUMIDITY FOUND IN PASCO COUNTYMoffet told Fox News that Mellon, a mollusk detector dog, is actively surveying for the pest. The department said on their website that they will treat properties with a specific snail bait that is a metaldehyde-based molluscicide labeled by the U.S.
