Infected Slugs: Case #3

I found the slug in these photos on the same night as Case #2. Unlike Case #2, Case #3 had a small yellow growth which formed the crest of a large pinkish lump on the left side of its body. Yet it was likewise able to move about, indicating that it was not in the last stages of parasitic development. However, the size of the lump suggested that it would not be long before the growth protruded farther and eventually burst. Also, this slug was secreting a large amount of slime, mixed with other (unknown) substances.
