[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 106882, member: 3111"] Thought I'd just add to the convo, I come across soo many leeches that I had to look up leech removal on google. I dont know how many of you know this, but most the old techniques on leech removal dont work. Putting salt on them, pulling them or burning them with fire will [u]always[/u] end up with the leech vomiting its infectious goo into your skin. I read ( and I use this technique ) that the best way to remove them is in one swift movement, getting a fingernail under their mouth and scraping them off. You have to do it quick so it doesnt have the time to grab onto you again. [/QUOTE]
