Not just from space, but specifically from orbit.

YOU can nuke him from orbit if you want... I'm gonna lob mine in from out by Mars, just to be on the safe side!

[Khepri]

antihistamine...Benadryl

OR

You could cut it off and mail it to Obama as an expression of your undying love for the Great Leader....

Up to you...:)

Wait a few days and it will fall off.

That was the sign over the exit of my favorite brothel in Danang.

So, were they right?

Don’t know that I’d use the acetone mentioned in the comments, if there is a blister.

Pray to That One. He will cause the blind to see, the lame to walk, the - well you know...

[al baby]

PETA wants to know how is the slug doing ?

[Doogle]

It now has swollen and turned red and icky looking.

....????...swo..swo...swollen and turned red....22 hours later?....well it's not the dreaded viagrabeetle...whew!

[Petronski]

Yeah, Coca-Cola will kill just about anything, but don’t use the “diet” stuff.

If Coke doesn't work, there's always the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. We have five of those--no wait, three. We have three of those.

You know, that’s a good question.

I swear it was a slug. But I’ve been spider bitten before. And the infected area DOES resemble a spider bite.

Maybe a spider was stuck on the slimy slug? And I didn’t notice?

You’re probably allergic to something in the slime.

Try some benadryl, cortizone, or other analgesic ointment.

I’m not a physician - disclaimer :)

From your report it's obvious this wasn't a slug. I know exactly what it was, we see it a lot around these parts. I don't want to scare you, you must stay very calm. Seek immediate medical attention.

[FTL]

Its all Bush’s fault.

[Slings and Arrows]

Septic slug semen ping!

[Petronski]

No, they were the third one on the left, between the chiropractor and the Chick-fil-A.

Now I have a ugly festeing blister on my finger.

I would if it's festering.

One of the comments from that 1st link you provided....

As gross as it may seem, kids do get a kick out of licking banana slugs and feeling their tongues go numb.

Is that for real????

[Tennessee_Bob]

There’s nothing we can do for you now.

Can I have the cooler?

[Petronski]

Nah. It doesn’t get really dangerous until the formation of supperating pustules.

[buccaneer81]

Should I seek immediate medical attention?

Only if you have an erection lasting more than four hours.

[metmom]

I’ve never heard of slug slime being in any way harmful, other than that nasty case of the willies you get when you step on one barefoot.

LOL.

I stepped on one once and must have set some kind of Olympic record for backwards long jump.
