CAUTION. Due to the increase of slugs and snails I have used a light sprinkling of slug pellets round my runner beans. There are hardly any beans due to being eaten by slugs and snails. The beans are surrounded by a black membrane to prevent birds and frogs eating the slug pellets. I have eaten three servings of beans and am now showing symptoms of Metaldehyde poisoning i.e. slight head-ache, a bloated feeling, increased heart-rate, not being able to sleep, light headed, tired-ness and diorrhoea. I suggest if anyone has treated their products with slug pellets they would better off destroying them. I can,t find anything on the net about how to treat suspected metaldehyde poisoning. Is it a good idea to drink plenty of water or would this then affect other organs?
