Can salt really "decentigrade" a worm/slugs/leeches "skin"?

Yes, at least with slugs and leaches..not quite sure about worms.  Their bodies are full of moisture and the salt takes the moisture out which will kill them.  You putsalt down to melt the snow, it does the same thing to them.

They die because their skin is not waterproof like our is. When you put salt on them the dry salt causes water to flow straight out through the skin. That causes massive dehydration and they basically dies of thirst.\n\nIf you've ever had salt get into a cut or blister you have experienced the human equivalent. Because the skin is broken it is no longer waterproof and the salt causes a stinging sensation and localised tissue death.\n\nYou may want to think about how that feels next time you pour salt on a snail.

"Random Non-sensical Stuff"\n\nYes, this is what I need! I need a category where I can ask if it snows in Honduras will the spotted meal worm be able to approach puberty in time. \n\nOr......these three which will now and forever remain near and dear to my heart:\n\nIf you were a freshly harvested eggplant would you feel guilty that most of your nutrition was erased by the fact you were breaded and deep fried and turned into eggplant parm?\n\nDo erasers silently scream when you traumatically scrape their head across the paper leaving behind tiny bits of their scalps?\n\nIf you were born with more than the normal number of toes would you hide your malady in shame or would you try to exploit it on the sideshow circuit?\n\n\n\nI shall now campaign for "Random Non-sensical Stuff!"

I don't think so in this case. It's not a great thing to do, but slugs are slugs. Just don't go kicking dogs or burning cats.

Hey...if you are talking to a stroke group, addressing salt "toxicity" is not really what you want.  Salt toxicity occurs in people with renal problems or others with very high exposure to salt (usually intravenous).  Another word for such toxicity is called hypernatremia and has nothing to do with stroke.\n\nI believe what you are after is to convince these people about salt's negative impact on their stroke risk.  That's admirable and you should do it by linking salt intake to high blood pressure, which then increases the risk of stroke, rather than toxicity.  I like your idea of visually representing the salt intake and I'd do it this way.  A common recommendation for salt intake in people with high cardiovascular risk factors (like stroke victims) is to consume no more than 2 grams of salt a day.  The less the better really, so just show them, say, what one gram of salt looks like.  We know that an average American consumes about 4-5 grams of salt every day.  So you make a 5 gram pile of salt next to that.  That educates them how much they are overeating, rather than tells what would kill them like you wanted to show with the toxic dose (more practical that way, I think).  Then you can suggest the changes, namely to never use a salt shaker (there is more than enough salt in food already), avoid processed foods, avoid canned foods (including veggies...use frozen instead), avoid junk food etc.  Good take away message for everyone would be...look at the label...if it contains more than 250 mg of sodium / serving -- forget it.  Hope that helps!

NaCl is neutral in water so i think that pure sweat without cosmetic or perfume from your body it could be same as the saline solution a pH  of 7

Yes.  You can actually (gross I know) douche with the plain kind and  it will definitely help.  It helps to restore the good bacteria in the nether regions.

I think if you put salt in water and electrisize it you can see salt react but dont trust me.

salt absorbs water.  Snails are made mostly of water. Thus pouring salt on snails causes the water stored under the membrane skin of the snail to come out resulting in the snail "melting."\n\nAlso works with tobacco.\n\nMessage from the sponsor: THIS IS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!!! DON'T DO IT!
