      Snails take no action to pick up or release the flukes, and you'll likely never find the one that hosted the parasite that infects you, since it lasts 2 days after leaving the snail. Mosquitos on the other hand, can only transmit through direct harm to you.
      It's like a person that unknowingly buys food someone tampered with, eats some, then puts it in the kitchen where we can have some too and we both get poisoned vs. a serial shoelace thief that is sometimes followed by his friend that likes stabbing people.

      Well I live in Cancún and the worst disease I had was Dengue, that's kind of my fault for living near a public hospital.
      But most people live in the city normally without touching a drop of water from the swamps, they live fine even if we are from the tropics.

Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to shit, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the f***'s your problem?'

    If you have ever had "swimmers itch", then you have been infected by a cercaria larva that was looking for a waterfowl host but burrowed into your skin and died. Swimmers itch or duck itch is caused by a species of the same family of flukes but they are specific to waterfowl. The foreign body (dead larva in your skin) causes your immune system to create histamines which then cause the itchiness.

    THANK YOU! For a wonderful and informative video. I just discovered you today.
    Schistosomiasis or bilharzia is a very real and present problem in Sub Saharan Africa as you state. I spent a couple of years there several decades ago and we were warned about watching for snails before we entered any fresh water system. I was a Biology major and knew a good bit about tropical diseases before I went there so I was glad the orientation program included a decent section on such.
    Copper sulphate is often used as a disinfecting agent in swimming pools in that area (not that there are MANY of those!) and this chemical will dye the hair of blond people. I remember a scene of three ladies with long blond hair sitting on the edge of a pool... with GREEN TINTED hair! At least they wouldn't be getting Schistosomiasis!

    this is why you develop infectivity before symptoms
    edit: this was a joke and reference to plague inc, but I do actually develop my symptoms before my transmission, as they're cheaper. I do however try to avoid any lethality until i've infected every country.

      I usually start with transition between people and THEN with symptoms, since you have to kill all the humanity - you need to infect everybody, plus the symptoms could mutate and appear but itself and evolve into lethal one which you don’t want to use
      Yet
      Unfortunately it’s working only on few plagues, not for everybody, coz for some you need to spread and kill victims instantly.

    On the topic of snails, do you think we could get a future video about how diverse snails really are? I think one scientist commented that this is "the age of the snail" given how widespread and ecologically diverse they can be.
