[QUOTE="Skip, post: 523854, member: 13688"] Salt works to get them to let go. Sprinkle abit on them, they'll soon let go! Also the person at the back of the trail gets more than the person at the front. The heat from the first guy attracts them. I seen them drop from.trees, live on the bottom of rivers, live under ground, even up on mountain tops. Leeches can be fatal. I know I bloke who lost his leg from a leech bite. Bit him on the inside of his boot, he didn't think much of it, jumped on the tractor and slashed the paddock. The bite got infected a few daya later from the boot rubbing, red poison travelled up his leg, went to hospital and they gave him some bad news. I hate leeches [/QUOTE]
