You've probably heard about his horrifying story at some point in your life, but before we get into the simulation, I'll run you through what happened.

Back in 2010, a then 19-year-old Sam Ballard, from Sydney, Australia, was drinking with his friends when the slimy creature began moving in front of them - at which point the dare came about.
Recalling the tragic night, Ballard's friend Jimmy Galvin told The Project: "We were sitting over here having a bit of a red wine appreciation night, trying to act as grown ups and a slug came crawling across here.

"The conversation came up, 'should I eat it?     ' [and] off Sam went. Bang. That's how it happened."

At that point, no one knew just how deadly that one garden slug could be to the once gifted rugby player.

He probably thought eating such a harmless animal like a slug would cause nothing more than an upset stomach - if that.

Instead, what Ballard would later discover was that the invertebrate was infected with a parasite known as rat lungworm, which caused him to suffer from severe weakness and pain throughout his legs.
It then lead him to contract a strand of meningitis known as eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, a severe but treatable disease that further worsened his condition.

Ballard fell into a 420-day coma and the toll that one small dare had on his life was irreparable.
