1. That's horrible

I hope this slug and the parasites within it appear on a list of things in Australia that can kill you.

2. For sure

Makes me think this could happen some day to the little guys and young men I know in my own life. God forbid.

3. It's easier to list those that dont kill you..

Apparently, it's a feat to stay alive over there. They have so many things that can kill you. Animals, plants, etc..

4. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I'm trying to teach my kid not to be a dumbass and to think critically.
