An Australian man has been left in a critical condition after eating a slug for a dare. Skip related content

The 21-year-old from Sydney contracted a disease called rat lungworm which is a rare form of meningitis, according to Australian national broadcaster ABC.

The incident has led to health officials warning of the dangers of eating raw gastropods, or slugs and snails, which carry the parasitic worm.

The disease causes the brain and spinal cord to swell and can be fatal.

However, Dr Jeremy McAnulty from New South Wales Health said most people recover from the illness because the body's immune system can get rid of it.

It cannot be transferred from person to person.

The larvae of the parasite is only found in rodents' faeces, which many snails and slugs eat and then become infected.

Dr McAnulty advised anyone planning to eat the slippery creatures to wash them thoroughly first.

The rat lungworm is mainly found in Asia and the Pacific Islands.

    You know the rhyme, slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails that's what little boys are made of. Wonder if he was planning on a snail and a puppy dog tail as well, but didn't quite make it.

    Damn--reminds me of this story.....

    http://anyguey.guanabee.com/2010/04/man-dies-eel-anus/

    A Chinese man has died after an eel that was inserted in his rectum gnawed away at his intestine. :shock:

    The 59 year-old chef–whose name has not been disclosed– was taken to a Sischuan hospital with severe anal bleeding, abdominal pain. Local doctors, unable to figure out what was causing the symptoms obtained permission from the family to conduct a laparotomy– a surgical incision into the abdominal wall done to examine the abdominal organs.

    Once inside, the doctors found a 50cm long, dead Asian swamp eel stuck in the man’s rectal region. The slithery fish had bit it’s way through the intestine. The man was then taken to the intensive care unit, but died ten days later from internal bleeding and sepsis.

    But how did the eel end up in the man’s anus? According to reports, the chef had consumed copious amounts of eel the day before, but doctors couldn’t figure out how a live eel ended up in his rectum. Eventually, his friends confessed to have inserted the live eel up his anus as a joke after the man passed out from drinking heavily. Man, with friends like tho

    but does the average Scotsmen wear said eels up their asses?

    Rumor has it that a Scot will only use an anal eel if the preceding gerbil gets stuck.
