_-_{Leech Information}_-_

//.There are fresh water, terrestrial and marine leeches.

//.Leeches are hermaphrodites.

//.The medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, which is native to Europe, and its congeners have been used for clinical bloodletting for thousands of years.

//.All leech species are carnivorous.

//.Few specias are blood-sucking leeches, feeding on the blood of vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles, waterfowl, fish, and mammals (including humans).

//.The most important predators of leeches are fish, aquatic insects, crayfish and other leeches specialized for predation on leeches.

//.They all have an anterior (oral) sucker formed from the first six segments of their body, which is used to connect to a host for feeding, and can also release an anesthetic to prevent the host from noticing the leech.

//.They use a combination of mucus and suction to stay attached and secrete an anti-clotting enzyme into the host's blood stream.

//.The word leech either comes directly from or was influenced by the Old English word for "physician", laece, which is related to Old High German lāhhi and Old Irish liaig.

//.Leech saliva contains an anaesthetic which limits the sensations felt by the host.

//.The leech saliva contains a peptide called hirudin, which is a highly effective anticoagulant. The leech needs this to prevent blood clots from forming in the wound created by its mouthparts.

//.Medicinal leeches have three jaws--tripartite-- that look like little saws, and on them are about 100 sharp teeth used to incise the host. The incision leaves a mark which is an inverted Y inside of a circle.

//.Leeches' bodies are composed of 34 segments.

//.Due to the hirudin that leeches secrete, bites may bleed more than a normal wound after the leech is removed.

//.Leech bites tend to itch while healing.

_-_{Bloodletting}_-_

//.Bloodletting is one of the oldest medical practices, having been practiced among diverse ancient peoples, including the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Mayans, and the Aztecs.

//.In Greece, bloodletting was in use around the time of Hippocrates.

//.In medieval and early modern medicine, the medicinal leech was used to remove blood from a patient as part of a process to "balance" the "humors" that, according to Hippocrates, must be kept in balance in order for the human body to function properly.

//.Physicians applied leeches to areas such as "the gums, lips, nose, fingers," or even "the mouth of the womb," according to a medical text from 1634.


//.The medicinal uses of leeches date back to more than two centuries before Christ.

//.The 19th century heralded the widespread use of leeches for "bloodletting," a practice that grew so quickly that by the 1830s a leech shortage arose in France requiring the importation of more than 40 million Mexican leeches.
