When you add salt to a slug why is it potentially deadly to the slug?
It's all caused by the principle of osmosis. Osmosis says that the concentration of minerals inside and outside of a membrane must be the same. When a watery slug cell comes into contact with pure salt, water seeps out of it to dilute the salt to the same concentration as in the cell, thereby draining all the cells and killing the slug.
