Some children may be curious to go up and grab to play, but do not know that this behavior is extremely dangerous. What is the origin of this snail? Why can't they be touched? And what are the consequences of touching it?

First, this snail scientific name for the African snail, also known as brown cloud agate snail, Dongfeng snail, vegetable snail, etc., its adult body length of more than 20 centimeters maximum, is a medium to large Lucy animals. Looking at the name alone, I believe we have guessed that it is an exotic creature native to Africa. However, the African snail is a valuable source of protein in its native region. Due to the delicious meat, it is also regarded as a top delicacy by the locals, who can eat up to 1,500 kilograms a year. The Chinese, who call themselves foodies, will not easily let go of any ingredient that can be used as a delicacy, but only avoid them, and do not even dare to touch them. The main reason for this is that these snails are so dirty.

Second, it is reported that the African snail can carry up to hundreds of pathogens and parasites, due to their own slow crawl, like to live in a dark and damp environment, and such places are often pathogens and parasites are active places, so they are also human and animal parasites and pathogens of the intermediate host, able to disseminate tuberculosis and meningitis concentration of the Guangzhou tubular nematodes is the main trigger of meningitis Factors, but he is the most common type of parasite, this parasite will enter the human body through the skin or mouth and nose, and then parasitized in the human central nervous system or brain collection fluid, causing meningitis serious. It can even be disabling or fatal. The most terrible thing is that the infected large snails, its feces left behind when crawling mucus also contain the same variety of parasites. So in order to avoid the disease from the mouth, we buy vegetables and fruits outside must be cleaned before use.

Third, but the harm of the African snail is far more than that, this snail belongs to the omnivorous crops, forests, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers and so on in its recipe, hungry, but also eat the companion carcasses, although it is a soft-bodied organisms, but it is able to gnaw and digest the cement, and this is mainly due to his amazing teeth. The tip part of their teeth is quite sharp, and their feeding ability is extremely strong, which is extremely harmful to vegetables and other crops, and it is one of the first batch of harmful alien invasive species announced by China, and it is known as the field killer. Due to the suitable environment and fast reproduction speed, nowadays the African giant snail has established populations in many places in China, especially in the southern region, and whenever they are active in the season, we can hear about various cases caused by them. Therefore, parents should also warn their children, and then come across these snails, do not touch, not to mention the desire to take home to make food.
