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.
