Not being a Floridian although I have visited several places in FL, I haven't been following the original thread at all so I don't know if this has been discussed, BUT, I just read an article about those giant snails that can be up to 7 inches long and how much money the FL Ag Dept has spent trying to control their spread, to no avail.
And knowing me you wouldn't be surprised that I zeroed in on the human health issues since those snails will eat rat feces that can then, when the snails go sliding by, spread some serious human diseases. And also that their prime time to go from burrowing to dining is during the hurricane season.
Again, if this has been discussed I apologize, if not, have any of you been facing this issue? I know it started in the Miami area and I also know that some of you garden in that area, and I also know that the snails usually dine on native FL flora, but what comes next as one might ask?
