This will give the paranoid a good reason to forget about wearing a mask. Masks don't protect against jumping worms.

I bet they make good fish bait.

"Whether Amynthas agrestis successfully proliferates in the Golden State remains to be seen, but Cornell University's Master Gardener Sandy Vanno has some blunt advice for what to do if you find them — "Bag them up and throw them in the trash, or place them in a bag and leave them out in the sun." In short, "handpick and destroy them."
Destroy them like I do with the snails. Can't say that I have seen any yet though in my backyard.
