I want to go camping with friends this summer but have a terrible fear of slugs and it is a PROPER phobia-?

get a tent with a sewn in ground sheet then the only for them to get in if through the doorway and that has a zip on so they wont even get inside the tent

If it is any comfort... I have never seen slugs while camping I used to be deathly afraid of worms, but you just have to face it sooner or later. the person below has a great idea!!!

I see way more slugs around the house than I do in the woods. If your not digging around under logs or anything like that you won't see them at all. Don't worry about it. If it bothers you that much carry a salt shaker.

I go camping almost every other weekend and I never saw a slug for over 10 years. The salt is a great idea. I don't understand why you see them. They're usually hard to find.

Modern tents have a sewn in groundsheet so provided you keep it zipped up they could not get in. It is pretty rare to find any if you go to a good site with well cut grass It is a good idea to take a tin of fly spray and give it a short blast before you go out on an evening to kill any Midge's. That way your tent is bug free and smell free when you get back

Just carry some salt around with you everywhere. And before you go to sleep put a circle of salt around you as a perimeter of defense. I do the exact same thing with garlic to keep away vampires and its works for me so far.

Buy some blue slug pellets and put them all round your tent. If there are any slugs out there, they'll die before they can come in. Now go and see a counsellor and sort out your phobia. Being afraid of slugs isn't compulsory.

The best thing you can do is get over it. Slugs don't usually crawl on people. They love to eat fresh or rotting vegetation, that is their one intent in life, why would you be fearful of that.... Slugs are only harmful to vegetation.

ring a salt around you.
