I think if you cook it properly the rat lungworm and meningitis isn't a issue

Sad state of affairs :wink:

Central T&T full of mosquitoes and African snails .

And no solutions :roll:

If it's time to protest is now.


" (Mayor) Mohammed claims that due to a lack of finance, the corporation was unable to buy the necessary chemicals to curb influx of mosquitoes in the area."

https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/ ... ffb00.html


" Meanwhile, when reached out to via WhatsApp, Agriculture Minister Kazim Hosein noted it is no longer the ministry’s policy to visit communities to render assistance in the management of the snails, but they do advise the public on the various management practices that can be utilized. "

I think the Ministry needs to embark on a community spraying programme with Thiodicarb, just like they did when dengue was spreading. Get cepep to cut bush, then come and spray.




I had to spray Thiovin again yesterday. The blue bait is close to useless btw because they only attract live ones and do nothing about the eggs and they keep coming like a never-ending onslaught. The spray washes away with the rain after a while so needs to be reapplied every few weeks. But the spray works effectively if applied often. Despite my spraying about 5 weeks ago, and constantly using pellets every week, my initial effort was useless because a whole new generation was born after the first spraying washed away with all that bad weather in the past month. I had to spray again so will see some more results. The spray works, just that you have to use to every few weeks to be as effective as the literature says on it. The downside is that it is a severe poison to everything and residual toxicity lasts up to 14 days and then gets into the groundwater and food supply.

As a side note, it seems that cashew is very toxic to the snails. None climbing either of my two trees, and i had trimmed some branches and put them in a pile. A few weeks later immense number of dead snails around the cut branches with with the sap leaking out. Cashew sap and unripe cashew are poisonous to humans as well, but not like Thiodicarb. UWI Agri Dep't needs to put in some research into making a snail retardant with green cashew and the sap.

I feel individual counties should organize weekend snail clean ups with volunteers. Provide bait, buckets of salt water etc and tackle the problem every fortnight. Kinda like how we do beach clean ups. I find the snail hunting kinda satisfying and would partake if organized on a national, county level

Thiodicarb is toxic to dogs and probably a lot of other animals.Spraying is risky.
Cashew is a natural source of cyanide, so I wouldn't doubt you there.Perhaps some compost of cashew leaves around plants might help.Will try it

Yuh want to hear something really scary?

I was on you tube and a song by Madonna was on my mind. So I was scrolling through other songs and playing them (not Madonna,eh).

About 5 tunes later and I kid you not, THE EXACT MADONNA SONG I HAD IN MY MIND APPEARED IN THE LIST OF SONGS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

I did not search for any Madonna song.

I had to seriously catch my breath for a few minutes.

So I swill look out for snail invitations from fb.

Yeah, it's the same with any of those local species in terms of being vectors. I use a slow cooker after the usual chunkay. It's not bad. I've been penning up some as well to fatten up with my scraps and discards. Their poop is pretty much compost, same as worm casings.

I feel if people start to accept it as a cheap source of meat....and you see people picking them up on roadsides and places start buying them etc....it could help.

Just now the whole scrap iron industry will have out of work people.

Too much taboo on snails here, plus the lungworm parasite thing, people won't get over that gross idea even though it will be cooked to high temp. With no kind of food safety inspection or snail farming regulation, the public will never trust this meat source. It have people who can't get over the idea of tapeworm in pork, even though the meat inspected, stamped and then cooked at very high temperature.

Using it as feed for chickens and other animals would be a good idea, but again, the lungworm parasites spoil that.
