[QUOTE="BenevolentSpirit, post: 367172, member: 11313"] I was out in the backyard and came into the house to have a shower and I thought I had a twig on my foot. Then I realised it was a leech! I pulled leech off my foot with my fingers. I did not take much notice of it over following days. However since then I noticed a itching sensation moving from the bite area and difficulty breathing on occasions. I did not think much about the breathing as I am an asthmatic. Now about two weeks later the itching has spread throughout my body, I have sever itching around my foot and swelling. After reading up on leech bites and the side effects, off to the Doctor today. Little buggers. [/QUOTE]
