Bleach! <shudders in sympathy> I'm such a stereotypical girl when it
comes to creepy, crawly, slimy things and slugs are definitely
included. If I had been you, I probably would've shrieked, done the
"Ew, ew, ew" dance, and completely reamed the restaurant manager. And
never have eaten salad again.

Don't blame your paranoia. It could save you again in the future. I
know after hearing this story I'll be ten times more careful when
getting salad from restaurants. <walks away shuddering and muttering
"slugs">
