[QUOTE="Westaus, post: 140520, member: 2598"] I know this is not leeches but may have a similar effect. I saw this on ABC's Catalyst program and was absolutely blown away by this and the effects of ticks. This may be part of the reason as the leech may have similar characteristics and the unique enzyme/protein that causes the problem. Here is the link and transcripts - [url]http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/4177191.htm[/url] It also shows a new way for removal, I would suggest all of you on the East Coast read up on the removal. Basically use a freeze spray. DO NOT SQUEEZE tweezers etc.... Best of luck, hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
