[TrueLeonPriest]

DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY!

[DreamworksAnimations]

Very Big

[MexiEmpleadoCorrupto]

your are brave thanks to share how to remove that nazty animal

[kiriconan]

burn it with a cigar... MGS3 ftw

[shadyfizzz]

im grossed out!

[lecram0]

Try thinner

[Ms6676]

just for everyones info... soak some cheap tobacco in water and smear whole body with the water, the leech wont come near u. its proven. the tobaccos cant b put in ur socks as well.

[MrCollinsliam]

i actually went swimming in the river last night and theres this slow spot where the water dosnt move and of corse i thought it would be cool to hang out in there and i come out and theres this big fatass leach on me so i asked this guy that was there to use his cigar to burn the basterd off my foot. lool good times

[mickeymousedied]

ur suppose 2 burn a leech off

[samuriguy909]

@mickeymousedied no, then it regurgitates the blood back in the wound and get infected

[pengaith30]

sucking blood leeches the vampire

[a9fc]

I just came back from a hike in southern malaysia

imagine a few of these coming at you on the floor from all directions when you're standing still...

They way they move...man...lol...

I now know where people get inpiration for horror and some scifi movies

[juiced2death]

@a9fc So did i im also from singapore btw i went to kota tinggi, they are fast and small

[Brandonisrad18]

I think I would rather just leave it alone till its finished. I'm more afraid of the infection it could spit into my blood rather than it drinking blood that i'll have back in less than 2 mins =s

[YourTheBlame]

@Brandonisrad18 There is another way. Burning the Butt of the Leech.

[bozzioisgod44]

I was always told to just burn them off.

[pivot3rules]

you should just leave the leech for a while. when the leech is full up it eventually falls off your skin. there's no need to remove it.

[grettagrids]

@pivot3rules so it won't drink till it explodes?? I want to use this therapy for my knee pain since it has helped before. I went to a leeching doctor for this before but want to do it myself now. I'd worry more about the leech exploding:(

[TheGreatSeraphim]

@grettagrids Leeches let go on their own once they are full or too heavy to hang on. 

[flikkerpoes]

ur sick

mr vampire

[vios688]

hey... can you tell me whats the feelings when it starts to suck your blood... ?

is it hurt ?

[34mxrider]

@vios688 You usually don't feel anything at all.

[smagmatits]

@vios688 no, you honestly dont feel anything. you wouldn't know it was even on you unless you saw it.

[growlands1]

@smagmatits Thats wierd, It Looks sooooooooo painful x(

[TheVdogamez]

Your supposed to hit it with a match

[rawralicious40]

What is that?is that a slime??

[jackarf1]

Use rubbing alcohol, put some on a qtip and place the qtip right above the head of the leech. It'll let go and off you are :-)

[00zerocoke00]

The best way to get it off is to use a lighter!

[spastickid218]

Just smoke a cigar and burn the leech off...

[c1c2c3able]

or just get some scisers and chop them off

[rappe92]

or you can just burn it? not like put it on fire but like a lighter and have it on fire for awhile and put it on the it? lol i dunno

[Biotoasts]

you spit or pee or put salt on it it dehydrates the leech and it lets go

[GnoixGenp]

The leech will vomit the blood back into you if you try to dehydrate it, then you will get infected with who knows wat

[Biotoasts]

@GnoixGenp then how do u remove one?

[GnoixGenp]

@Biotoasts ...whole point of video

[X619mysterio]

-.- that is a bad idea, it will regurgitate and infect his wound -.-

[cacaman100o]

@Biotoasts yeah then vomit back into you

[nopatone]

the better way is to wait..

when it's full it fall down.

[ganster1312]

i wonder wat it can also suck!!!!??? lol

[Lionel4482]

you should try it, put one down there and tell us how it felt

[Fotriospide]

hey just put a little salt on dat leech , it will die . try it !

[mkwlord]

if you try to burn it, you'll prolly burn yourself too... so i'd consider this a fairly stupid idea...

why don't just push it off just like the dude did and now there both ok... and with no burns!

[xxinthebandxx]

your supposed to burn it. otherwise the head of the leech could still be there and not visible and continue to suck the blood

[linkpoi]

if you burn it he can trown up and give you infection

[NeoKal]

@xxinthebandxx

I lol'd

[AussieBloke108]

When you try to sound smart, check google first, because you've obviouslly got the wrong pest.

[XxTHEXxXDESTROYERxX]

ur supposed 2 burn it off or put salt on it

[aptxai]

you burn in and that is the end of you, put Chinese medicine oil

[EmokiaxDD]

Chinese medical oil is a best solution .. as the leeches doesn't like it .. it will eventually fall off .

[FlamingMick5]

um if there was a leech on me ill let it be i cant risk getting an infection O_o

[BenY1995111]

are there leaches in england?

[styranitar1314]

there are leeches in every part of the world, you need to watch out WHERE in england you are, if your in the southern part your skrewed

[931SON]

if i saw a leach i fry it put them in butter and eat them

[BabyAngelJaz]

thats discusting, how do u do that, if it were me i would throw it across the room and get pigeons to eat it alive whilst im sittin there watchin with a cup of tea smiling... dirty skanks

[SeandaBaik]

damn

did u put the leech on your cock?

so hairy

[superkim200]

does that even hurt?

[TylerSamuelWilkinson]

no, it just scares the shit out of you the first time it happens :P

[adilkhanwwe]

put salt on a leech and look at the leech after a minute

[tombstoner79]

Why do you let the leach do this?

[kpark04]

shoot it!!! >=O

[bestamerica]

how about salt, pepper, hot spicy sauce, vinegar...

will leech off from skin

[latenight003]

dude are you mad? that will increase your infection risk and also if the leech releases blood it sucked before, it may give you a disease. so don't ever try these. use a heat pad or a spray and spray it point blank

[jaherrick]

Diseases like aids can only like very short amounts of time outside the body, so infection risk isn't high.

[varulv234]

If you spray on it then it will puke up it's stomach juice into your wound, can also cause an infection.

[Dpaladinx]

Medically speaking, using these items are the worst way to remove a leech (even using a lit cigarette). This is because the leech will vomit the contents and will cause a very painful infection. Pulling it off forcefully will cause the leech's jaw to get stuck into the wound and the leech vomiting its contents.

[Mike4evermetal2]

So if you burn the tail with a lighter it will cause infection?

[extasy0]

Eww, leeches are so fucking gross =O.

[Mugsi]

Very poor

[coolies543]

PUT SALT ON IT and itll drop off

[TakeshiKyashuri]

No, it will only make the wound hurt more.

[Deviicat556]

if you put salt on a leech it will throw up it's organs inside of you and then you can risk getting an infection

[5Sush0]

@Deviicat556 but to stop the infection, apply some soap, water and then put on a bandage to stop the bleeding and the infection :/

[resengan123]

what hapens when u bite the leech thats bitting u? does it try to escape =o?

[bloodystorms]

lol nice =P

[latenight003]

Let's see you try that :)

[Ben12310123]

i thouht there was only 2 ways burn it or wait untill its full and drops?

[scene4eva]

or use salt

[Ragorxx]

NO DON'T USE ANY THING ELSE .if you do it will vomit the blood in to the cut. Danger: HIV s,infection and so on

[allshallbelosttoyou]

don't use salt or squeeze it because either one can cause the leech to vomit, and if that happens your going to have all the nasty stuff in a leeches body rushing into your blood stream. instead us ur finger nail around the leeches head and gently pry it off. its really not hard, just unpleasant.

[rndmnrd]

I heard 'bout that too. Leeches piss me off

[Alishondra]

Salt? They die of salt, just like snails

[iCrabMilitary]

easy u just eat it =)

[Vstyle4Lyfe]

huh i dont know if this is true but my dad says you spit on the leech then the leech will fall off

[MuddyMississippiMan]

step one: Upset the leech step two:pry it from your skin via the thumbnail :-) seems like thats what happened here

[kwsrchoudhury]

The best way to remove a leech is by sprinkling salt on it.

[AndrewIsTriton]

No, it isn't. If you sprinkle salt on it, you will make it regurgitate. If it's carrying any diseases, there is a high chance you will be infected because the leech vomits onto the open wound.

[ltdricks]

does it hurt when the leech is on you?

[AndrewIsTriton]

You don't notice it until you actually see it. It's got to do with the enzymes it secrets around its mouth. They're analgesics (pain killers).

[AndrewIsTriton]

Well, if I said you don't notice the leech until you see it, then I think it would be logical to assume that it does not hurt to be bitten by a leech.

[Imananimegod]

I would just wait until it finishes feeding. It releases an anticoagulant so most likely it would release an pain killer as well. It naturally falls off when it is finished. Then just carry it to a lakeside or something. I wouldn't do this because of that same reason.

[rpblcan]

it will takes a long time to finised to eat

[justcat1234]

best thing to do if you don't have salt or fire, is to just let it do its thing, they only feed for 10 minutes than naturally release themselves causing no infection, as a matter of fact they clean your blood.

[LittleSong88]

WOAH LOOK AT TAHT MATAH BLEEPER! XP

[lucrenta9]

run inside get some salt and sprinkle it on him

[cancerbero8]

If you do that (or burn it or pull it) the leech could literally throw up in your open wound and infect it.

[hotstuff12807]

i thought that u were supposed to burn t or something?

[nexlon]

What happens if I cut a hole in the leech? Is it gonna bite me then?

[kyover2000]

if u CUT HIS BODY THIER WILL BE 2 LEECH

[bully129]

The head will still be on you. You risk getting him stuck in your foot or whatever part of the body, and serious infection.

[thepainda]

why do you have to be so gentle when you pull it off cant you just grab it and pull?

[holyandannointed]

no you can't if you do, you can risk killing the leech and leaving its mouth in your skin, which can lead to infection and much pain.

[cammycool3]

If anyone has been bitten by a leach please comment 2 me and tell me if it hurt?

thanks!

[StalkingyouXD]

not really most of the time you don't even know they are there until u see them

[Gamernotnerd]

The spit is a number.

[sindude300]

i thought is cigar????

[stealthgeeza]

nah its not reccomended u harm the leech since it might regurgitate into your wound causing infection

[ReaperTwo2]

Try using a lit cigar or cigarette, salt, or vinegar. You remove it like that, and it damages your flesh more. If you notice, it took a chunk of your flesh with it.

PS: That's a huge leech.

[acoustic335]

NOTE: Is it generally not advised to attempt removing a leech by burning with a cigarette; applying mosquito repellent, shampoo, or salt; or pulling at the leech. This can result the leech regurgitating into the wound and causing infection much worse than the leech bite itself.

[holyandannointed]

better it damage the flesh than cause infection and even worse, a disease

[javaromaa]

Yeah they do, if you try to pull it off

It will go into your skin.

[DaStyle1990]

did you know that the leech will close the hole, when it's done?

[garioldwin]

why would the leech do that??

[igotlost1]

This things have an ability suck your blood man!!

[skate0attempt]

i think that one wasa horsey leech

[Ninearm]

Nope... you should use a cigar and burn it of.... that way... you dont run the risk of it leaving it teeth behind

[BEL2PS5VW]

But if you do that, there's a chance that the leech will regurgitate its stomach contents back into you and cause infection...Which is bad.

[italianfreak101v]

that thing is fkn huge

[slivamodz]

SHIT! thats big!
