The Parasite-Infested Giant African Land Snail is Back in Florida_我的网站
A | More than 1,000 of the slow-moving creatures have been wrangled in New Port Richey since June 23, when the first one was discovered. The snails not only eat hundreds of types of plants, they also crawl up the sides of buildings and consume the calcium from the stucco and plaster found there before leaving behind their droppings.,"These snails could be devastating to Florida agriculture and natural areas as they cause extensive damage to tropical and subtropical environments," the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) warned.,Beyond the damage to plants and buildings, the snails carry with them a dangerous threat to humans, too. Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) most often infect the lungs of rats and other rodents, but can be transmitted through their digestive system. The lungworm larvae is then found in rat feces, which then infect the snails.,Humans can come into contact with the lungworms either by eating undercooked snails, fruits and vegetables contaminated by the infected snails, or consuming undercooked frogs and crabs that have snacked on a sick snail. While the parasite sometimes dies in a human’s central nervous system, other times it can travel through the brain and cause meningitis: a swelling around the brain and spinal cord which can lead to paralysis, comas, and death.,Thankfully, thus far scientists have yet to detect rat lungworm in the snails that have been wrangled in Pasco County, says Greg Hodges, who is an assistant director of the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Division of Plant Industry.,“Let me assure you, we will eradicate these snails. We have done it twice before, and we will do it again – it is not a question of if, but when. Together, let’s locate, communicate, and eradicate, so Florida can again be GALS free,” said Florida Commissioner Nikki Fried.,The state of Florida has set up a quarantine that runs from the northwest corner of the U.S. 19-Ridge Road intersection, and east to Little Road and south to Trouble Creek Road in New Port Richey, Pasco County. In this quarantine area, residents are restricted from touching or moving found snails, as well as plants, soil, compost, and yard waste. Those who do find any other snails are asked to contact state authorities.,At least 30 state employees are searching for the snails and are being assisted by dogs trained to sniff out the invasive critters. Authorities are also using metaldehyde to kill the snails, a pesticide that affects their mucus production and causes lethal dehydration.,The last time Florida dealt with a snail invasion, those giant African snails were dark gray and brown, but now? Authorities are finding the snails to have whiter, cream-colored bodies and dark shells. These newer snails are heavily sought after in the pet trade industry, but in Florida it is illegal to import or own a giant African snail without a permit. However, Florida state authorities have discovered individuals doing just that.。 8月17日下午1点，浙江衢州九九红餐厅内，自选餐台摆满荤素热菜，外卖骑手、快递员陆续推门而入。九九红餐厅是衢州市总工会为新就业形态劳动者打造的“一点钟食堂”点位之一，专为外卖骑手、快递员、网约车司机等群体错峰供应平价饭菜。（据《衢州日报》8月18日报道）中午用餐高峰，往往是新就业群体工作最繁忙的时刻，就餐难成为他们的日常困扰。“一点钟食堂”瞄准这些群体午后空闲窗口期，提供错峰优惠就餐服务，让他们在忙碌间隙也能吃上一口热乎饭。这样的便民服务，用小举措解决大烦恼，是民生服务精细化的生动体现，也传递出一座城市的善意。更难得的是，服务时时贴着需求走。“一点钟食堂”分布在外卖骑手、快递员、网约车司机等群体高频活动区域，并全部上线地图导航。劳动者可根据工作动线就近用餐，不绕路、不误工。截至目前，衢州市“一点钟食堂”月均服务新就业形态劳动者超5000人次。这再次证明，瞄准真实诉求精准施策，才能把民生服务真正做到群众心坎上。一餐热饭，照见一座城市对劳动者的尊重与关怀。期待更多地方推出类似这样贴合实际需求的务实举措，让每一个奋力打拼的劳动者，都能在奔波途中感受到实实在在的温暖。（王艺）。
