A lot of the parasites and diseases that live in snails have to be injested to cause harm, so as long as you're not eating them raw right from the garden or not cleaning your hands after handling a snail, you'd probably be ok. and I don't really want one, it was a joke ;) I just think they're cute Well any kind of pet can transmit a disease, you just have to know the proper way to care for and clean them and yourself.

They transmit diseases. Someone needs to go out and sprinkle salt everywhere. I wouldn't mind jewelry made out of one of those shells, though. You don’t want one of these guys.
