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.
yes, it is like the most painful acid being poured on them, so if you want to d oit,don't!
you can pour salt on a giant B.C. slug, and it will shed a protective layer of skin and crawl away ! It will also give off a lot of slime .
The salt leaches the fluids out of the slug, due to osmosis. The slug then dies of dehydration.
Putting salt on a slug completely dehydrates and kills the slug
If you put salt on a frog or any other kind of water dwelling creature....... IT WILL SHRIVEL UP AND DIE! If you give a little time of course.......
If a slug drys out it will infact die.

Pour salt on it

Salt will kill slugs because the slugs body is covered in mucus and the salt will dry up the mucus and in a matter of time the slug will die.
sprinkle salt on it and it will poisin it
