Does Slug Slime Ruin Leaves?

[All About Arthropods]

Hello,

I was going to sterilize a bag of rotten leaves I had the other day, but I must have also picked up a slug in the process of collecting the leaves because there was dried slug slime all over them! My question is if the slug slime affected leaves are unusable. No big deal if they are because it's not on all of them, and I will likely just try to tear off the parts with the slime on them anyway.

Thanks!

Nah I doubt it renders them unusable, I'm sure the roaches will eat the dried slime along with the leaves.

It should be fine. If you see the roaches eating around the slimy parts you can always remove it later.

Great, just the answers I wanted to hear, glad I can still use my leaves!
