Just in case somebody doesn't recognize this as the troll it is:

I agree that it is probably a troll- but from the scientific article
in the Medical Journal of Australia
http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/...n10389_fm.html
it appears that the slugs that lad ate were infected & that cooking
them would probably have killed the disease. [much like the many
diseases that can be contracted by clams, oysters & scallops- but that
are eliminated by cooking.]

The US National Park Service mentions the edibility of slugs on this
page;

There is a recipe for Slug Fritters at

Don't sign me up for eating slugs though, whether they are cooked or
raw.
