leech


uh, i thought i needed to remind you all.
when you all see leech on yourself, please please dont put salt, burn it, or put anything on it. the leech will regurgitate everything onto your wound (that means VOMIT everything onto ur wound), and you might risk infection.

leech bite itself is not painful at all, and will not have any effects on us.
the leech will only take 1-3cc of blood (normal blood donation takes around 200cc of your blood) although you might bleed a bit even after the leech has gone away cos they put in anticoagulants.
they will drop off harmlessly after they have their fill of blood. (around...20mins? LOL)

and it will not leave any scars (provided you do not irritate your wound, and take care of it well), but it might itch a bit.
so its just like a mosquito bite
we are so used to mosquito bites, its not scary anymore. just take a leech bite as a mosquito bite and dun make such a fuss out of it.

oh. did i tell you socks dont protect you from them? they can weave their way through cotton =D
this website tells you how to remove a leech. im quite eager to try it lol!
