Researchers studying the chemistry of slug slime at
the University of
Washington have found that it is a highly organized
polymeric material that
can absorb water extremely rapidly-up to 100 times
its initial volume. They
have not been able to reproduce it yet
.....
Here is a recipe for Slug Syrup...
" Slug
Syrup" ...... You take those really big slimy forest
slugs ( can
get up to 9 inches long) or the lunkers you find in the garden..........
Put a layer of them in a jar....... You then put a
layer of sugar over them,
then another layer of slugs....You do this till the
jar is filled....The
sugar will dissolve the slugs in about a day.................. You then
run the mix thru a sieve andding 1/3 grain alcohol by volume .....
Down the hatch..... Slug Syrup is used for Ulcers,
Bronchitis, asthma, and
is claimed to heal these conditions when nothing
else will...............It
has antibacterial properties as well as a
coating......It is considered a
super glue from nature..... If you buy the store
bought variety, make sure
it is made using real slugs...
