Flesh-eating slug repellent

This is a dead thread I'd like to resurrect for a moment because re-reading
PoA I found something interesting. People has been wondering if flesh-eating
was an attribute to the slugs or the repellant, both possibilities make
quite sense but I've always believed in the first. Now I can give you proof
that those who share my same belief are in the right because in 'The Boggert
in the Wardrobe' ch, p. 101 UK edition Lupin talks about flesh-eating slugs.
The only problem left now is for what reason in the world the slugs were
attacking cabagges in CoS! But maybe they're just omnivorous, whereas the
other slugs eat only..... actually I don't know what slugs eat but I guess
it's not flesh.
