dip all the collected leaves and dip them in warmed salt water for some time...Sieve them out and wash.under a tap.... while you warm up the water to wash with.. The infestation should wash away leaving the basil ready to be added to food.

Soak them in a sink full of water for about 20 minutes and they will drown and fall to the bottom.

@DancingStarGoddess That's what I did on the plants where I found slugs, I squished them dry with a towel....I have a salad spinner too, but there wasn't that much...

Bugs of all kinds are naturally present on all food that isn’t industrially produced. Wash and make your food

I have no idea if they are edible, unpleasant or actually toxic!

@ArishMell Oh-Oh...if something happens to me folks...this might be the cause...holy moly - this from AI: Eating a garden slug can cause severe, life-threatening brain infections if the slug carries a parasite called rat lungworm
