When you put salt on them? I've always wondered why it kills them. Is it something in their body, or is it something that happens to all molluscs? If so, would an octopus die if you put salt on one?

Yeah, we get dehydrated when we put salt on out tongues, and since slugs have wetness all over their body, why shouldn't they get dehydrated?

Because salt is saturated. The water in the slug's body moves out of the skin in order to try and dilute the salt. This causes the slug to become dehydrated.

You live in an unhealthy environment. You're dieing slowly. That fungus is probably poisonus. and the air particles still trickle through your "clean" air.

someone already answered that. Oh, and why do worms die when you spit on them? They just shrivel up and die, lol.

The water in the slug's skin secretes in order to try and dilute the saturation in the salt, thus dehydrating the slug.

As with most non-ocean living animal and plant cells, salt applied externally creates a situation where the concentration of salt outside the cells is greater than that inside. Ions move into the cells and water then moves out to try and balance the difference. Thats why garden slugs shrivel, from high salt levels.

Their slimy skin is sensitive to the small amount of acid in salt so they fizzle up to it... But they're not sensitive to citric acid...? I guess it's just a mystery.

This is also true, dig a hole, put a bucket in it, then pour a can of bear in the bucket, you have your own collection of dead drunk slugs very soon.
