Squashed slug

[Tony]

It’s a weird question I know, but….. ):

Has anyone squashed a slug onto bear skin? I’ve done it on my shin :roll: a big 4” one and what a mess it made. Then I got some water to wash it off with and that just made it all worse, it became even more glue like…..

So, anyone had an experience like that and has anyone got an idea of how to clean skin if you get crushed slug on it?

PS
I scraped it off in the end….with some of my hair… \\:

Yeugh
Bicarbonate of soda.....lemon juice....both work on my clothes and hands if I've gotten squashed slug in the garden..... must be more than these surely though.

hi tony with working outdoors it happens to me often my way off getting it off seems to work i crab a hand full of soil and rub it in the grit in the soil acts like a scourer and the soil sooks up the mush then just wash of the soil and its gone :wave:

Thanks guys :biggthump When I'm working and I get something crushed on me I use the dirt method, don't know why I didn't think about it really :roll: Maybe because I was on my way into my sleeping bag!

Fresh from their Foxhunting victory, a group of PETA ladies looking remarkably like a famous brit comedy troupe descend on Tony's home banging dustbin lids around a goateed theater arts professor in tights crying " If thy ***** us, do we not bleed?"

So ya got "snotted" eh Tone :biggthump It's grim getting it off but lemon juice, vinegar or swarfega is a good bet as is a little washing powder mixed with a little washing up liquid in the palm of your hand :super:

If you get a squashed slug on your skin clean it:

a) Thouroughly

b) Use soil, sawdust etc to absorb the mucus

PS: the mention of it going like glue suggests a bushcraft use for them, Is that's why God in his wisdom put them on the planet ???
