Slugs and snails can be vectors for rat-lung-worm-disease. If they feed on rat faeces, there is a chance they may pick up a very dangerous parasite - Angiostrongylus cantonensis; this is a parasitic nematode (roundworm) that can reach the central nervous system.

Although it's unlikely that you would contract this illness, it's best to play it safe and not eat slugs or snails...
