Why does salt kill slugs?

Asked by spendy (1446points) May 10th, 2008

I guess the more intriguing question is why does salt have the disintegrating reaction that it does? What is it in their chemical makeup that causes them to die when covered in salt? Is it an endothermic reaction that kills them?
