If you've seen Speed 2: Cruise Control then you already know, leeches work wonders. I can't even begin to list all of the medicinal uses of these creatures, but, in short, they help focus blood circulation which can help speed up the healing process for a seemingly infinite number of injuries.
Personally, I've had a difficult history with leeches. My first experience came in 1996. After a long afternoon of swimming in the bogs of the Southern Appalachians, I had to take a shit. Upon completion, I was shocked to find the dreaded "poop you can't wipe." I stayed in that bathroom for 45 minutes before my mom forced me to come out and then explained that it wasn't poop at all, it was a creature. It was a leach. That was one of the most horrifying moments of my life. So, I guess you could say that this is also about me facing my fears.
For anyone who wants to join in, here is the simple seven step process for beginning your therapy:
1. Wash hands.
2. Select appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves).
3. Cleanse area with normal saline soaked sterile gauze.
4. Apply leeches with gloved hand on tweezers.
5. Allow leech to attach large posterior end first and direct smaller head end to the desired site. ( Leeches can be loaded into an empty syringe without a plunger “rear end first” and the open end of syringe is placed over the desired site to ensure proper placement. )
6. Apply the other leeches if neseseary.
7. Monitor leeches until they fill with blood (10-20 minutes). Usually the leech falls off itself (if not use salt. Leeches do not like salt and will drop off)
I'm a little worried about all the talk of rear end's and posterior's, but the fear of ass play has never stopped me before. You can buy your own leeches here; only $8 a piece, and they accept paypal! I'm going to start as soon as my leeches get here, and I'll be sure to keep you up to date on how this therapy progresses.
