PASCO COUNTY, Fla — The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services confirms the detection of a giant African land snail in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County.
If you're wondering what harm a snail can do — it's a lot.
This species of snail is known to consume at least 500 different types of plants. Not only will they eat through your backyard, but they could also be nibbling at your home too. The snails can eat the paint and stucco off of a home.

These mollusks can also bring serious health risks to humans. They can carry a parasite rat lungworm, known to cause meningitis in humans. The snails shouldn't be handled without gloves or proper sanitation procedures in place.
quote:
Along with damaging your garden and health, these snails have the potential to majorly impact Florida's agriculture industry.
"If it was to become established, the entire state would be under a full quarantine for shipping agricultural products out of the state," Bryan Benson said, the deputy director of Florida Agriculture's division of plant industry.
A quarantine has been enacted to prevent the snails from popping up in other areas. The quarantined area is in a portion of the southwest region of the county.

The rich snail wants something fast, elegant, and luxurious, after browsing Mercedes, Ferraris, Bugattis, and tons of other high end cars he decides on one.
So the rich snail pays in cash and walks up to the dealerships auto body guy and says "I want you to paint big S's all the this car, big S's on the front, the sides, the back, the top, big S's everywhere. The auto body guy tells him he can do it sure, but can't help to ask the snail why he wants big S's all over the car.
So the rich snail answers him "so when I fly past people on the highway, they point and say
"WOW! Look at that S Car Go!!"

Now is not the time to overreact...
Burning it to the ground should be enough stop this.

A guy is sitting on his couch one afternoon and he hears a knock on his door. He gets up and opens the door and there’s nobody there. Frustrated, he looks down and sees a snail on the ground so he picks it up and throws it into the street, slams the door and goes back inside.
About six months later he’s on the couch and hears another knock on the door. He opens it and sees the snail, and the snail says “Hey, what the hell was that all about?!?”

Go pick up a truck load of workers from the local home depot and put a $5 bounty per snail on them

OH....you mean the snails? I have no idea.
Well you got the point anyway.
Globalization has just been a massive failure for the average Joe so many times over.

Great, an invasive species from Africa that despoils the landscape, destroys homes and breeds prolifically. Just what we need

Point was neither chose to be here on their own, they were brought here. No doubt the snails got here as well via piggybacking some commodity.
