Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!

(Nevertheless, i've never heard anyone complain of leeches at Heartland, and the first aid staff is pretty good ...)

I got some leeches on me once. It's not really that bad. You just touch them with a cigarette and they plop right off.

My dad had leeches used on him in a medical sense back in Iran when he was a young boy after he fell out of a tree in his family orchard. Apparently it saved his life by clearing up a dangerous contusion.

Millions of leeches!
Leeches for free!
Millions of leeches!
Leeches on me!

Well, no, look, we can use them to suck out the bad humours. You don't want freaking bad humours do you?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Stick one of those things in my face and I'll show you "bad humours," bucko.

I'm revolted by them as well, despite their charming health attributes.

Leeches will forever evoke images of "Stand By Me" for me. Ick.

It's The African Queen for me. Brrrrr.

Yeah...those puppies'll crawl up pretty much anywhere...

Would it help if they were furry, with big Precious Moments eyes?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

No, I think that'd be worse, actually.

Did I ever tell you about my experience of swimming in a Canadian river? They were more like bloodsuckers, really; hundreds of the little suckers fastened all over my body.

Now, Leech Lake in Minnesota - you could watch the water darken as schools of leeches (the big 'uns) swam past. If you happened to be in the water when they did, yoink! they'd suck right on. Leeches come off much more easily than bloodsuckers, BTW.

I really didn't need to know this.

Another noseleech story

[prairietracker.livejournal.com]

I found this story a couple of years ago about a guy with a nose leech.

Nice to know the author of that wasn't making things up about nose leeches.

I know I will sleep better tonight knowing that people aren't lying about getting leeches up their noses. Thanks.
