Just a thought, do GALS carry any diseases?

They can carry bacteria that can cause stomach upsets, but so do birds, reptiles and amphibians.
I'm not sure about diseases as such, though. Wild snails can carry a worm that can cause meningitis, but that's not a disease that the snail carries, exactly, and captive snails won't have them.

Wild snails in warmer countries I believe, but I believe you have to eat the snail undercooked to get the worm. Pennyfarthing has got it bang on
