When salt is put on a leech, it causes the leech to lose water through osmosis, leading to dehydration. The salt disrupts the leech's physiological balance, causing distress and potentially death. This reaction occurs because leeches rely on their moist environment to survive, and salt creates an inhospitable condition for them. Consequently, applying salt is considered a harmful and inhumane treatment for these creatures.
because the salt absorbs the water so that it dehydrates and dies
It's a physical change because salt stays the same when it is put in the water. Even though you can not see the salt, it's still there. This will also happen if you put sugar in water.
To exterminate a leech, you can use salt or vinegar directly on the leech to remove it safely. Avoid pulling them off as their jaws can remain embedded in your skin. It's important to sanitize the area afterward to prevent infection.
Adding salt allows the water to boil at a higher temperature, so the eggs cook somewhat quicker.
If a leech is accidentally placed in the anus, it could attach itself to the internal tissues, causing discomfort, bleeding, and potential infection. It's crucial to seek medical attention immediately to safely remove the leech and prevent any complications.
When people put salt on the leech the leech dies and the marine leech will survive in the marine habitat.

Salt the leech. When he drops off you, it will leave space for someone better.
because the salt absorbs the water so that it dehydrates and dies
The salt dehydrate the leeches through the process of osmosis. When you pour salt on leeches, there's more substrates outside the leech than inside the leech. I think pouring salt on leeches will make them fall off whatever they were attached to.
Bromine is salt mixed with water so when you put it in water its just more water with salt in :)
