ratlung worm on the rise again

Growing height I am sure helps, but by applying slug bait in a continious line on the ground below would help deter the slugs and snails, or if you can manage it, slug bait traps.
(The article mentions slug bait traps.) Both would have to be monitored and renewed. Slug bait would have to be kept from pets, animals and children, as it is highly poisonous.
The other thing is hydroponically growing the lettuce and greens in a controlled greenhouse would seem a better solution.
Greenhouses can be erected on a sharp gravel base, with no vegetation in the vicinity and that would be a good start to diverting them elsewhere, while keeping out the pets/young kids from entering the enclosure.

Mary,
The peroxide sounds like a good thing to do. The problem that still persists is that the slug or snail slime also carries the risk of the parasite, so the produce has to be rubbed to clear of any traces left by the snail or slug.

HIH,
That is so tragic to learn about Graham and it is a testiment to his strength on how well he is doing today. It is tragic for anyone to get this awful disease. It sounds so terrible.
