I found this national geographic video about the uses of leeches in India for medicine, and might I say, I think I'll stick to modern, western, medical techniques!!!

To be honest, I'm amazed that so many people still allow the leech therapies to be preformed on them. It seems so barbaric, and I tend to wonder how well it really works? I would be afraid to let it happen! Do you know if the leeches could actually infect you if they, say, had had a blood meal from someone who had aids? I know that's an odd question - but I tend to think it's an odd practice!!!
