Lettuce
Did one man die from eating lettuce with a slug in it???
shareYes. A slug crawls into a head of lettuce and after the lettuce is cut up, it is used in a salad. The man eats the salad and apparently all the pieces of the slug have become many, complete slugs. They eat their way out of the mans body.
sharehiya
actually, (and this is from the Shaun Hutson novel, I haven't seen the film) the slugs are infected with parasitic worms, and even when the slug is cut up, the man is killed by the worms that eat their way out of his head
They're so slow. We could just walk right past em and we wouldn't even have to run.share
This is based on a novel?
I watched this as a kid, and then rewatched it as a college student. This movie is gross, and intensifies my fear of slugs.
yup, British horror writer Shaun Hutson....he's credited on the IMDb page
Hutson also wrote a sequel called Breeding Ground

what is the name of the website?
shareI remember "Breeding Ground"... trashy fun book.
"You get alot for your dollar with Video Aces" - Tapeheads
That part is the same in the movie...They take some of the "worms" to the scientist guy and he explains that they are parasites that live in slugs.

I read Breeding Ground. Undoubtedly one of the worst novels I have ever read.
I've also read Captives. It's worse because it's about twice as long.
I think I'll read Deadhead next.
ooo ooo ooohh...just a cramp
shareWHAT!
i think slugs was great book, then breeding ground was even better
it was one shaun best, i hope going do third book on the slugs
Shaun Hutson is fav AUTHOR
i love most of his books
check this out
the one you trying his Lucy's child it's masterpiece
and try reading the Assassin
YOU have TO read amzaing Spawn
and Necessary Evil just total WOW
BUT if didn't like slugs, which i think is great book
don't read Relics (i did't think was great at all, but gory)
Hybrid was worst book i read from Shuan Huston
Shaun Hustson rules !
It was also said in the movie about the parasites that were carried by the slugs, and that with a high dosage would result in what happened, so the man ate an entire slug. So I guess his wife stuck to a liquid dinner of alcohol.

...or perhaps they were pickled...IN HER STOMACH. (Actually, I was amazed how much like "Shivers" this scene was, though this movie is so much older.)
shareNo, even in the movie the scientist explains that the man contracted a parasite that's usually only found in slugs and that's how he died.
