Sam became a quadriplegic and has to be tube-fed after contracting rat lungworm from the backyard slug in 2010.
On Sunday evening, his friends Jimmy Galvin and Michael Sheasby appeared on Sunday Project alongside Sam's mom, Katie, to discuss how the 28-year-old’s life changed after that night.
“We were sitting over here, having a bit of a red wine appreciation night, trying to act as grown-ups, and a slug came crawling across here.
“The conversation came up, 'Should I eat it?' Off Sam went. Bang. That’s how it happened,” Galvin said.

There are a lot of things in life that make me wonder if homo sapiens really are the most intelligent species. Eating slugs, Tide pods, snorting condoms.
