For anyone who hasn't heard about this: “So it’s a worm infection introduced into North America through globalization,” said Peter Hotez, the dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “Some suggest that it’s due to snails or slugs in the ship ballasts—ships coming from Asia and going through the Panama Canal.” The parasite that causes rat lungworm disease is now endemic in the southeastern United States, and it’s expected to spread northward https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/04/when-globalization-brings-brain-invading-worms/522153/

RechargedThe parasite needs to be ingested and I'm pretty sure the snails used for this are farmed specifically for the purpose of extracting mucus and so have very little chance of coming in contact with the parasite in the first place.
Though it may potentially be an issue if someone doesn't wash their hands after application and immediately eats a fruit or something? Interesting article but don't think it's very likely to apply to this product. Wait, lemmie actually take a handful of my brown container snail mucus and taste right now...

MadotsukiPerhaps, but you never know. Just felt like this needed to be put out there, as a precaution. Oh boy I bet it tasted like pudding :-)
