Or maybe just walk briskly. Hell, a lazy saunter should be fast enough.
State warns Floridians to watch for giant African land snails

TALLAHASSEE — Agricultural officials want Floridians' help in eradicating any giant African land snails that may have invaded the state because the pest is a threat to people and plants.

The snails, which grow up to 8 inches long, have been found recently in Midwestern pet stores and schools, which did not know the animals' dangers, the Florida Department of Agriculture said Wednesday.

"We must quickly determine whether these giant African land snails are already in our state and if so, eradicate them as quickly as possible," Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson said.

The good news is that these giant snails aren't monkeypox carriers. :D
 
Oh great, like those southerners need another excuse to yell "go back to africa"

OMG! That's hilarious!

You're probably wondering how they could make a giant slug movie scary. Well, rest assured, they didn't. You see, slugs are slugs. There is nothing scary about a squishy, slow moving, five inch slug.

I wonder if any slugs were harmed during filming... :D

It's a lot more serious than that. Think how much they eat, and how much they breed. Countries like Australia are terrified they will turn up. Like the common garden snail, once they are in, you will never get rid of them.
 
Next thing you know we'll have to start importing Frenchmen in order to combat the burgeoning giant snail population.
