Why do snails die with salt?
Snails do not have a protective layer of dead keratinized cells over their body like we do. So once they come into contact with the salt they become dehydrated and die.

But if we drank large amounts of salt water, we would dehydrate because there isn't a layer of dead keratinized cells lining the inside of our bodies.
