Whether in China or Taiwan, the large-eating snail can be said to be an alien species that has a huge impact on agriculture.

Experts now remind that there are 6,000 parasites in Fushou snails. If eaten by mistake, it will be harmful to health, and may even lead to death.
According to the “NetEase News” report, in 2020, some people caught two creatures that were suspected to be snails in the stream of Kipishi Street, Zhejiang Province. It lays pink eggs, which makes the public suspicious. After checking the information on the Internet, it turns out that it is an alien species, Fushou snail, which is very harmful to agricultural production.
The citizen once said that in 2019, he had not seen this kind of creature in the river channel of the village, but by 2020, it has been seen everywhere, and even learned through the information of many friends that it is in the river channel in the urban area of Haining. I have seen the eggs of Fushou snails, and even there are many ponds in many communities. A few days ago, some experts said that at present, Fushou snails can be said to be seriously infringing on the entire Jiangsu region.
Also, because the Fushou snails are somewhat similar in appearance to the field snails, there are always people who do not know who catch the Fushou snails as field snails, heat them and eat them, resulting in disasters. Some experts said that there are at least 3,000 to 6,000 parasites in a snail. If people eat the snail raw or not fully heated, it will cause the human body to be infected with parasitic diseases such as angiostrongyliasis in Guangzhou, and there will be headaches, Symptoms such as fever, facial nerve paralysis, and central nervous system damage can lead to dementia and even death in severe cases.
In order to prevent people from accidentally eating them, some experts said that at first glance, the appearance of the snail is very similar to that of the snail, but the snail has a larger body, and the tail of the snail is flat and the shell is relatively thin. In addition, the shell color of Fushou snail is lighter than that of ordinary snails, which is yellow-brown, and the color of snails is blue-brown.
In the snail meat part, the flesh of the snail is white, cyan, and blue-gray, but the snail is yellowish-brown, and the snail has two pairs of antennae, and the snail has only one pair, and the granulation on the snail is too many and messy. But experts also emphasize that even snails, if not fully cooked or eaten raw, may be infected with parasites.
