Judith I understand that the salt treatment is very painful

I always thought that slugs did not feel pain. However, you may well be
correct - but I could not find any hard and fast scientific evidence that they
do.

Most seemed to extrapolate form experiments on other things.

Quite an interesting page at:

Anyway - you may well be correct - and I like the idea of boiling water.

So no more salted-slugs for tea for me ;-)
