Rat lungworm is the nightmarish neurological disease that spreads through animal feces by parasitic nematodes (roundworms).

It can be transferred to humans through infected rodents, snails, slugs and specific other animals that act as hosts to the parasite, said officials from The Hawaii State Department of Health in a news release.

Humans interact with this parasite when they consume these disease-carrying animals raw or uncooked.
