I’m not a dermatologist but that looks more like ringworm. And I’m also not a malacologist, but I wasn’t aware that snails bite.

Learned something new - never heard of bilharzia - doesn’t sound fun at all.
“A disease caused by infection with freshwater parasitic worms in certain tropical and subtropical countries.
The parasite can be found in subsaharan Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. The freshwater becomes contaminated from infected animal or human urine or feces. The parasites penetrate human skin to enter the bloodstream and migrate to the liver, intestines, and other organs.”

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),
Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?
What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?
Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.
Happy hunting - Daniel
