Leeches

by Sheila Wyborny

Leeches are bloodsucking hitchhikers. They attach themselves to hosts, both human and animal, gorge on blood, and then fall off. Despite the health problems they cause for humans and animals alike, leeches have been used by healers for hundreds of years. Even today, medical science is putting the ugly little creatures to good use.
