    I love the smell of swarfega. My dad always used it when he came home from work when he worked at making printers and photocopiers.

    Sorry if it sounded stern but slugs and snails a very real threat to our pets.

    Feeling very protective just now as our family dog is on her final days.

    I have found that putting your hands in very hot water and rubbing them works well.

    Would a thin surgical glove help?

    You need to dry it up, adding water only seems to make the stuff multiply. I use either talc or a spoonful of flour on my hands and just rub it away. After most of it has gone, then I wash with antibacterial soap and a nail brush.
