African giant snails carry a lot of bacteria and viruses, so they can't be touched, let alone eaten. As an invasive species, they have become a worldwide agricultural pest.
Don't touch African snails directly. African snails have a lot of mucus, and there are many unknown bacteria in the mucus. If the body has weak resistance to bacteria, it is easy to cause allergic reactions.
The life span of African snails is very long, with an average life span of 5- 10 years. A biologist once did an experiment: they put three African snails in a garden. Results In just a few years, the number of African snails increased from three to more than18,000, which shows how amazing the reproductive capacity is.
African snails have become the most troublesome invasive species of all mankind. Apart from the advantages of long life and strong reproductive ability, there is another more important reason, that is, African snails are not picky eaters and eat almost anything.
In addition to eating fruits and vegetables, they will chew the skin of the wall and even eat soil, in order to supplement calcium for themselves. Therefore, the non-picky nature also allows African snails to eat wherever they go and thrive anytime, anywhere.
