An Australian man, who was left paralysed after eating a slug in 2010, has died at the age of 28. Sam Ballard swallowed the slug as a dare at a party and became infected by a rare parasitic infection. Ballard, whose mother said that the incident "changed his life forever", had also lapsed into a coma for 420 days.
