Google is such garbage nowadays, can’t even find out how medical leeches are kept and taken care of before application. Just site after site after site talking about their uses and how they are disposed of.

No one ever asks how is leeches. : C

I want a pet leech but with the crazy amount of medication I’m on I’m worried that I’d kill her :( if I could I’d have a pair of North American medical leeches named teacup and sneasel. But I can’t feed them myself and I’d feel wrong asking other people to. But they’re so cute!!

i need to start bleeding pronto man . My humours are all fucked up man. get the leeches.

A humbling reminder that we as a species have the capacity to be very very stupid is that doctors used to see someone faint from blood loss and treat them by bleeding them with leeches

Like AH a problem! I know how to fix it! LETS MAKE IT WORSE

just fed the kids and now they’re full of my blood #myblood

TW Blood, Leeches,

i just realized that the baldi from 1999.exe looks like a leech the more I look at his “face” ( his face is just a big af mouth) and he has no legs……omg he should be named “Leech Baldi” because he looks like a big scary leech.

Do you see the resemblance?

How dumb am I to not have realized before that Hirudo’s name comes from the genus of leeches, Hirudinea

Specifically Hirudo Medicinalis, the medicinal leeches

Fun request!

i dont know how to tell yall this but we never stopped using leeches in the medical field

i need people to get more normal about leeches, ticks, wasps and every single “pest”

in another life i am a beautiful goth woman’s pet leech and i am so happy

I think of the bloodsucking bugs, leeches are the chillest and funnest

• don’t generally carry transmissible disease
• easy to avoid if you don’t want to feed blood to them
• they swim!
• stretchy
• bites aren’t itchy
• worm

me at the club, one Yorkshire Tea in: “do you want to know about leech sex??”

if we were both jawless leeches, who would wear the hypodermic strap?

which one i’m most like
