Seun:I think the disease part is actually more worrisome than the invasion part. The only place GALS have ever "invaded" in the US is Florada, and that's because FL has a tropical climate. I doubt they can thrive in New York or even Texas. One of the species of these snails may indeed carry the pathogen they're concerned about (which is destroyed by proper cooking). 2 Likes |

Hahahha! The US is using Meningitis to scare americans. Lie lie ooooo. Well, that specie is notorious on crops. This is the real reason they dont want it. Those things are monsters if you have then in your farm. But to think of it, some people are gluttons. Dey hide snails inside luggage. Na this one's throat go send am to jail. Rubbish! 1 Like |

Make them kuku call am IPOD because I have observed of late,whenever they want to kill anything in this world,they will shamelessly call it a bad name just to make it look terrible in the eyes of many. |

Ishilove:Why will she import indomie when all types are in African shops and online. Both made in Nigeria and Ghana There are some risks that are not worth taking. If that lady don't eat snail, she will not die. Or rather get dry one. That's a better alternative. |

Seun: oga @Seun thanks for this o. this is the reason I dislike the american government they would destroy every good thing about to their own advantage. don't be surprise the americans are busy culturing this snails for international market by so doing demonising the Nigerian specie to discourage the world from consuming it but their. 1 Like |

Seun: The problem is they also affect the local biodiversity, which could have adverse effects on agriculture and so on. (There was a report on CNN about the issue back in the late 1990's focusing on an invasive specie of insect brought in on wood from china.) Also, the meningitis thing may be a rare thing, but if they let it in, and some American catches something, and their family finds out ...that's a potential suit. And it isn't only the US...Australia is far far more stricter. 2 Likes |

Seun: Call it whatever you want, that's a system that's vigilant, they'll not allow into their country any item they're not sure will not pose a risk to their eco-system and human health. As it is, it's an invasive specie which will definitely mean it has to be contained and well monitored which the traveler hasn't made provisions for, besides the American system isn't used to such specie as such not familiar enough in it's handling, in this part of the world we believed it's harmless, we shouldn't expect others to trust such unsubstantiated belief. 2 Likes |

Oga u all keep following oyibo ppl like zombie and you coming up with link of other people research. Did you carry out the research yourself? How many people in Nigeria died from just eating snails and what meningitis? By the time you prepared your food in an Africa way it kills off all microbes. Even the eggs and meat they eat in US there are also chances of them being infected by microorganisms.. Black man sef kramer: 2 Likes |

Seun: I was shocked when the in the report it was stated our African snail causes meningitis. That's a defamation on the deliciousness and nutritional value of this our native delicacy.Perhaps it's about time we too starts ascribing their genetic modified edeable products as having the potential of causing Covid 19 and deformity among our pregnant women. They should not scare us ooh! 2 Likes |
