[A man who was left paralysed
after eating a slug as a dare at a birthday party has died at the age of 28. Sam Ballard, from Sydney, Australia, was 19 in 2010 when he ate the creature which was infected with rat lungworm. Mr Ballard, who was a keen rugby player, fell into a coma for 420 days after contracting a strand of meningitis called eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.] I can see a dare at 19 years old would be funny. but this was Tragic as the deadly "rat lungworm" was inside the slug. https://news.sky.com/story/australia...ed-28-11545373 Last edited by arista; 07-11-2018 at 12:17 PM. |

His mates are never going to dare someone to do anything ever again.
He had so much ahead of him, poor guy.

Well it was an accident, if he realised the slug could kill him I doubt he would have ate it, dare or no dare

tbf he was probably drunk, and people do a lot of silly stuff when they are drunk or high, most people get away with it, he wasn't so lucky, spare a thought for what his family have gone through

Adios

As much as the kid dying is awful, it was self inflicted and he put his family through years of hell and now years of grief. For a dare.

Can't really process how painful and gross his death nust have felt. Poor guy. Stupid, of course, but not going to relish in laughing at a dead man's mistake.
