Snail slime makes good cough syrup

Snail slime will soon be administered as a cough syrup as Kenyan scientists race against time to develop the medication.

Scientists at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) have embarked on the process of developing a new syrup from readily available snails in the country.

Besides coughs, the syrup also provides relief from heartburn, neutralising the pain and burning sensation.
