When I was little, My big sister told me that snails could bite, and f course at that age i believed her! and i distinctly remember one day standing outside in the pouring rain and there was a snail between me and the door, and I wouldnt come inside because i thought it would bit me, my mum eventually had to carry me inside!
(My sister also told me that slaters were baby marrons! which I also belived! she was a very creative 5 year old)
