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

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!
