Title: Slugs
Post by: Multiveg on July 19, 2004, 18:22:58

In an ancient issue of Organic Magazine:

Some slugs produce enough mucus thick enough to seal shut the mouths of snakes

Slugs and snails can have up to 27000 teeth

Slug slime can take away the sting from nettles

Rubbing nettle stings with a handy slug? Yuk!

Thats why I have so many slugs!!! Have masses of nettles ;D I also have enough to seal the Dartford Tunnel, and my lack of germination will attest to the teeth thing!!
Nice one Multi!
