Not only have I stepped on MANY slugs barefoot (If someone can make
the slime they make, he/she will be rich.  There is no way to
wash that stuff off and it stays slippery.  Must be a market somewhere.)
But, I have also stepped on a snail barefoot.  This was a much more
unpleasant experience, as the snail shell broke the skin.  This
planted some mold fibers from the snail under the skin.  It proceeded
to act like violent atheletes foot for about 9 months.  After several
creams, ointments, Dr. visits, etc.  I finally cured it with Micatin
ointment 3x a day and wearing open shoes (sandels).   This was a truely
bizarre experience that I hope to never repeat.  (I was down to the
last available brand of goop by the time it was cured.  Seems that the
stuff liked to develop imunity ... )
