Fox News
Giant African snails have reemerged in Pasco County, Florida. Action is being taken to quarantine and eliminate the snails but there is still a risk to humans.
"The giant African land snail … is one of the most invasive pests on the planet, causing agricultural and environmental damage wherever it is found," the report added.
After receiving notice of a "possible" population of the snail in New Port Richey, Pasco County on June 21, FDACS said a property survey confirmed the presence of a white form of the giant African land snail two days later.
