Hello, I'm a wildlife expert with a deep understanding of various creatures, including slugs. Let's address your question about whether slugs can bite.

Slugs are mollusks, and they do not have the ability to bite in the way that mammals or other creatures with teeth do. However, they have a radula, which is a rasping tongue-like organ covered in tiny teeth. The radula is used to scrape and grind food, particularly plant material. While it's not a "bite" as we typically understand it, the action of a slug's radula can cause a slight discomfort or irritation if it comes into contact with human skin, but it's not harmful or dangerous to humans.

So, to answer your question directly: Slugs cannot bite in the traditional sense, but they do have a rasping tongue that can cause minor irritation if it contacts your skin.
