Watch what happens when a leech touches salt: A disturbing transformation

Watch what happens when a leech touches salt. In this disturbing video, we see osmosis as a result of salt exposure, which can be fatal. Salt creates a hypertonic environment, drawing water out of the leech's body. This causes the leech to dehydrate and can lead to its death.
