I often swam in a pond where , upon exiting, I would sometimes have 1 or 2 leeches attached to me. I would just pull them off and throw them back in the pond.

a credit card will skim them off. ugh I can't stand them but I refuse to pay for a public pool when I have a perfectly beautiful creek right near my home! Can't make s'mores at the pool.

it's wonderful they're good for something! I remember Elizabeth & Nicholaus going in grandma & grandpa's pond in Michigan & coming out with leaches stuck on! had to use salt to get off!

Leech therapy is common in Ayurvedic treatments and widely available in India. As the text says, it was first available in Sanskrit, which is the language of majority of Ayurvedic texts.

We learned about this type of procedure in school, it’s an old age type of medicine. But all I think of is the film Stand By Me which of course was The Body written by The King of Horror and indeed other genres Mr. S. King!!!!!

I'm going to start keep leeches this year to use on my knees, plus I'm going to try it on my thumb joints, lower back etc. to help osteoarthritis pain and joint deformity x

2 Movies: Stand by me - good leech reference scene Gladiator- there's a scene where maggots were cleaning Maximus' wound.

Player #12334000, So has The African Queen . Humphrey Bogart had them on his back and Katherine Hepburn burns them off with a cigarette. Terrific film.

millwallmarty, Both common practices during the Civil War. The use of maggots was discovered by accident as I understand it.

Player #6852065, me too, I can still remember the feeling of pulling them off. I have heard if you let them become engorged they drop of their own accord at no injury to their little jaws but I could never handle that thought.
