Can I hunt boar on the BI?

Since the OP is apparently interested in meat self-sufficiency, if one takes measures to control the mongoose population (and sometimes even if they don't) the jungle seems to spit out an inexhaustible supply of chickens to eat

Watch out for semi slugs on everything in your garden and in the jungle these days.  They carry rat lung worm disease.  We have them in the yard so bad nowadays that it’s hard to work on the greenery without getting them on you.    I suspect they would get really bad in a big compost pile.  

I have been wondering if the semi slugs that the chickens (and ducks) eat make them sick ?  Also, I have wondered about Handling/eating the chicken eggs from the outdoors when you suspect they have slug trails on them.

That's a really good point, but I'm thinking that if you cook the meat thoroughly (duck and chicken), it will kill the parasite, which is a nematode. If it were something like a virus, or a prion disease, I would be more concerned. I plan on raising my beds off the ground, in a greenhouse, and we only need about 10 x 4 space for our kitchen herbs. We do like tomatoes, but I heard they do not grow well in Hawaii. Anything I would grow in the ground would probably need to be thoroughly cooked, so sweet potatoes and taro basically... After all my reading about the disease, I've been afraid to eat anything else I grow outside. My littlest gets into EVERYTHING. I am worried about her just sticking a straight up slug in her mouth (I've seen her eat ants, so...). Maybe I'm just worried for no reason!
