aribisala0: Health doesn't deal with logic, they deal with scientific, tested evidence.... Good you now acknowledged the snail might get health dangers...., so you now talk say their decisions are purely health related... Good you think that way. If they eat am now, and another virus start now na the same una go dey blame them, like una blame China say, them dey eat anything, then come dey contact diseases from those things them dey eat... They may not yet be ready to deal with its health dangers, get that..... hence the ban.. Since total ban no be the solution, You guys that get the snail, wetin prevent una to go thru the processes of purification as you mentioned? Since its not a complex issue to go with your suggestion, you guys should do them and let's see if them go still ban am after you have purified the snails. After all na person wey get goods suppose package am well before him go sell am... |

aribisala0:Well, 'Rat LungWorm' as the name implies is a pathogen carried by rats. The eggs or larvae are passed out in rat droppings which are eaten by snails; the snails become carriers (get infected). Statistics show that the 'Rat LungWorm' disease is very prevalent in Africa, Asia and some part of America. This shows the prevalence of the pathogen in our snails. Now snail meat is delicious and we all or most of us enjoy it, but this is calling our attention to ensure our health is not jeopardized while enjoying our favorite delicacy. |

Tirips:In short you do not know? The technical term is infested not infected and they are "vectors" |

OChimex:Your first sentence is foolish and so I will not bother to read the rest of your offering Go back and find out the meaning of the word logic/ It is clear that you do not know Without logic there is no science and no testing of evidence |

aribisala0: You can call me whatever you want, proven how uncivilised and uncouth you are. Insults are not accommodated in argument.. Science get branches oga,,,,, medicines and health deal with practicals, not I think say, I dey reason say, those are not medical kind of science..... Mr. Na social science you dey talk... philosophy kind of science. Nobody will ask you for any logic for medical casebook, they will always ask, show all workings, pure practicals. How did you arrive at results, show us testings. .... You sound like a layman not to k ow say science get branches..... Which is why when you go a good hospital, say you get symptoms, nobody wants to do anything other than send you to a lab, to know what dey worry you. No good doctor or hospital will begin without have your lab results. That's the working paper.thays how health works |

OChimex:I did not say you are foolish just that what you said was foolish We all say foolish things at one time or another That is human nature It is clear you are out of your depth, and really not well educated to boot The essence of science in medicine is critical appraisal/peer review of research data which implies logic/ deductive reasoning That is how INFERENCES ate made about causation and effectiveness on interventions/treatment If you do not grasp that most fundamental issue why then must you pretend to be some kind of intellectual which you obviously are not You are talking at JSS2 level Without logic there is no science so please go away and stop being a nuisance |

Foe those that don’t know, US allows snail but it has to be out of the shell to pass thru the airport. |

aribisala0:how ignorant can you be? Sit down and get schooled! Animals/Humans get infected while crops get infested. Oh and its 'Medical' term not technical term. Do a lot of study before you go embarrassing yourself to the world. |

Tirips:You don't know . and you don't know that you don't know but you think you know and you are proud of it First every profession has its "technical" terms so it is a technical term for medical professional just as for example "service" or "pardon" are technical term for lawyers. When a word that is in common usage has a different use in a professional group it is "technical" "technical" is simply used to distinguish from the "lay" or ordinary common usage of a word Instead of making a fool of yourself just type "technical term" into Google Now Infest is a technical term in parasitology used to denote invasion by complex multicellular organisms like worms which is what we are talking about here If you have a worm in your stomach, lungs or any other part of your body it is an infestation NOT an infection The most dangerous people are those with half knowledge who are totally impervious to learning and think they know everything If you take what they know and put it on a number scale it is less than zero i.e negative Your notion that crops get infested and animals infect is total nonsense If your house is invaded by rats, cockroaches etc it is infested. Infection is by single cell agents like bacteria , viruses etc While more complex organisms like worms ants etc infest and they can infest not only living things but spaces That is why it is a technical term |

aribisala0: Get back to my first write up in answering your question and read the first paragraph slowly. My comment was '...they become carriers(get infected)’. Just incase you lack understanding which you obviously do, this is the meaning of that part of the sentence:- The snails after ingesting rat droppings containing these parasitic worms, become carriers of the parasite which infects them with a disease (Rat LungWorm Disease) For all the other nonsense you typed which was totally off point and a 'cheap & insensible way' of patching your blunder, you need to be sent back to kindergarten. |

Tirips: I understand the psychological need to save face As lawyers might Say res ipsa loquitur and Yoruba would say Oro ti so ara re Nairalanders are quite smart and can see through your bullshit Crops get infested abi? |

aribisala0: Give up man! You've got nothing on me. You just jumped on my comment out of nowhere trying to play smart but you ended up embarrassing your silly self |

Tirips: Sure Plants get infested and animals get infected . Not so?? |

JoshOxborn:Yes, you didn't say it explicitly, but you insinuated it tacitly. |
