After the raining day, many citizens saw snails like fists on the roadside or next to the green belt, and the tender leaves grown in the citizens' homes were almost eaten by this snail. Yesterday, the reporter learned from Xie Qinming, a teacher and a teacher and a doctor of insect ecology from Jimei University that this is an invasive species called brown cloud agate snails (commonly known as African snails). Worms, don't eat it, don't touch it easily.

Mr. Xia lived in a community of Binhai West Avenue and planted plants such as mint, grapes, and perilla on the balcony. The young leaves of these plants were almost gone the day before yesterday. He found that there were a few snails on the size of a fist next to the plant, one of which was eating the leaves. Another residents in the community also said that the leaves of their home were also stuck, and only leeks were not "poisonous".

During the visit, the reporter found that there were many large African snails in places with more green plants such as Bailuzhou Park and Botanical Gardens. In a temple in the botanical garden, the reporter saw that the African snails appeared in a cool place in three or two, and some climbed along the wall.

Dr. Xie Qinming introduced that this agate snail, commonly known as African snails, mainly feeds plants, inhabits the dark and humid place during the day, and comes out at night. Earlier rainstorm provided a favorable living environment for it, so the number gradually increased. African big snails can harm more than 500 crops, and are the middle hosts of Guangzhou round tube wiring. Smooth and feces carry a large number of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites. Do not touch and eat. If you are infected infected, you will have a cold and fever, and you will have meningitis, tuberculosis and blindness. If you accidentally touch, rinse it with a lot of water immediately. Once discomfort appears, you should seek medical treatment immediately. If a big snail is found at home, sprinkle salt or coffee residue to its software part to kill it. For example, when a large snail appears in the community, it is recommended that the property or management department eliminate disinfecting as soon as possible.
