@freemo I would seriously not suggest eating anything that may contain (or transmit through its excretions) rat lung worm. It's one of those things that while rare will make you wish you were dead, if you manage to survive, but is so easily avoidable by not eating slugs/snails and washing your produce.

However, I'm much more risk averse in situations like these, considering the severity of the infection, despite the low odds of encountering the pathogen.

So to answer succinctly: you can **technically** eat nearly anything, but you should ask yourself if you think it's worth the possible risk XD
