 :o mega yuk! The thought of putting a slug anywhere near my mouth makes me feel shaky & sick! I cant even touch them with my hands without shuddering. I cut any I find in half with scissors (cruel but has to be done) & the birds have a feast

Them is foreign slugs. Ours don't eat rat poo they eat our plants.

Ours are safe to eat.

Little ones in salad must get eaten all the time.

Snails and slugs are a significant source of meningitis though, which is why salad must always be washed as meningitis can be found in their trails.
