ELI5: Why the hell you do that for?
well because the vigina walls are mainly made of salt should absolutely not dissolve “snail trail’ btw #momsknowsbest’
Poured salt on a slug once to see what happened about 15 years ago. Still feel like a monster murderer and feel horrible about it. It was awful. Don’t do this folks.
I’m mildly disturbed that nobody has pointed this out yet – kids, please don’t try this at home…
Isn’t it becasue they are really really massive bacteria? o.0
As far as I know slugs are very wet and salt causes things to dry quickly. So it’s basically sucking all of its fluids out.
Can’t believe it’s not on the front page of every newspaper in America but we are finally about to see how deep his criminal ties go!
When my cousin and I were little, we heard about slugs and salt doing something, but didn’t know anything other than that. We poured table salt over a slug to see what would happen. We were not entertained.
What’s a better way of getting rid of slugs? I have a slug problem and I suppose salt isn’t very pain free?
Actually regular salt won’t really kill them. They produce a lot of that slimy substance that traps all the salt. By moving forward it kinda sheds off that slime/salt mix covering it.
At least that’s what I heard.
