Just reading this thread is making my skin crawl.
When I was in training....I remember that maggots were an alternative therapy for wound debridement. I do not remember leeches being included...but it was a long, long time ago.
I wish to thank you guys for making me remember ascarids. Thinking about leeches and maggots got me remembering...and I remember translucent worms, wiggly, blind with no eyes....but little mouths. Thanks a lot.
I will go get into my bottle of contingency Mehkong, now, if you do not mind.

Thank you, for expressing my thoughts. I think the medical aspect is great. But , BUT!! in the puddle (RVN) IMHO leeches were specially trained operatives out of hanoi, and the mosquitos too, and all the other bugs. Maybe in another thread, we can mention Leech stories. Ugggggg shudder to think.
