Lauren Saddington, 27, was left physically shaking after she spotted a slimy invader in her water cup when taking gulps from it, sparking concern online.
A woman was left shocked after discovering a slug at the bottom of her water cup, right after taking several gulps – now fans are urging her to seek medical attention.
Lauren Saddington, known online as @laurensaddingtonx, is a lifestyle and travel influencer from the north of England. She’s usually known for her upbeat personality, but things took a serious turn when she revealed she nearly swallowed a slug.
In a video which received over 34,000 likes, the 27-year-old shared her disbelief: “This isn’t a new fear unlocked. I don’t know what it is. I do not know how I got it right there. I don’t know how I’ve done this.”
“I literally took about ten massive gulps out of that. I was so thirsty. It’s literally just been washed. There’s a massive slug in it. I’m literally Ron Weasley and it’s alive,” she added.
Lauren went on to joke if she ever became famous, she’d refuse to be on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, saying the experience left her “traumatised.” She asked her followers for answers, adding: “I need someone to tell me how that’s happened because it’s been washed with fairy liquid.”

She showed the slug still alive in the cup, describing how the sight gave her “shivers down her entire body.” Concerned TikTok users advised her to go to A&E, with one commenting: “You need to contact 111 for advice because slugs can be poisonous.”
Another added: “I would need therapy.” Meanwhile, a third wrote: “This is really dangerous. You need to get checked at A&E.”
The vast majority of slug species are harmless to humans. Slugs are only really dangerous if you eat them. Cats and dogs who swallow slugs may experience excessive drooling and or vomiting.
People can be infected when they deliberately or accidentally eat a raw snail or slug that contains the lungworm larvae or if they eat unwashed lettuce or other raw leafy vegetables that have been contaminated by the slime of infected snails or slugs. If you have any concerns, contact your doctor or NHS 111.
