The apple snail, an invasive species native to South America that can spread rat lungworm and whose eggs contain a rash-causing toxin, has been confirmed to be present in North Carolina.

Humans should not eat the snails raw, as they carry rat lungworm that can cause a potentially fatal disease in people.

The snail also carries a parasite, rat lungworm, that causes meningitis in humans and animals.

They will also eat plaster and stucco in buildings, even tree bark, and carry a parasite called the rat lungworm that can cause meningitis in humans, according to the department.

They can also carry a parasite, rat lungworm, that causes meningitis in humans and animals — if, say, people eat unwashed lettuce or other produce that the carrier snail has slid across, leaving behind a trail of slime.
