‘RAT LUNGWORM DISEASE’
CASES
In late March of 2011 a 10 month old girl on the north side of Sydney became lethargic and could not sleep. A week later she was in intensive care and she died around Easter. The doctors had no idea of the cause until the autopsy was released recently showing she had contracted rat lungworm from an infected slug, most probably from crawling across its trail.
