fuck is it rat lung worm?
edit: it is rat lung worm. prob contracted in Hawaii
Remember that teenager that ate a slug in a dare and contracted rat lungworm. He ended up in a coma, woke up paralyzed and eventually died.
So yeah remember to wash your vegetables, a tiny snail or slug can infect you.
Wow that was as abrupt as the end of Squid Game S2.
wtf hawaii, 22 years there and never heard of it but it looks relatively recent
at least it is rare
Yeah it's been a thing. Mostly unwashed or poorly washed greens
