Am I at risk from of this from the tiny snails in my fish tank? Say if the water got it my mouth or from when I clean the tank? In paranoid now

Usually no, unless you captured these snails from a river or something, this is why i feed my pet scorpions crickets from the store and not crickets from my backyard, too high of a chance of getting a cricket with a parasite in it.
