Type: Microscopic nematodes.<br />
How it works: Nematodea seek slugs and water snails,<br />
they enter the body and start to develop from<br />
infective juveniles to adults. In doing so a pellet of<br />
bacteria is released that begins to multiply spreading<br />
through the hosts body. Infected slugs are noticeable<br />
by the swollen mantle on their back, this ruptures a<br />
few days later releasing thousands of nematodes that<br />
seek to infect further hosts.<br />
