I was once hiking in the dark in the south of Japan. I crossed a few streams but didn't think much of it. A while later, I felt like my socks were sticking to my shoes and unusually warm. I looked down to see my ankles and shoes covered in blood. Totally drenched in dark red blood with 10 leeches attached. This was truly the most confused and terrified I ever felt in my life - seeing that much blood without feeling any pain was utterly disorienting.

How did you get them off?

He didn't. They're still there.

I scraped and plucked them off, not the safest way to get rid of them apparently...

Isn't that exactly what the article said you should do?

Can a layman (to medicine) avoid leaving teeth in the wound?
