@ThePrivateJoker You can use medicinal leeches for a lot of different treatments. You should maybe go research some more before you post an ignorant comment that makes you look stupid. Wild leeches can carry disease; hence "medicinal".

@ThePrivateJoker Because they are. Not the most effective medicine today, but they aren't worthless or a scam.

[ThePrivateJoker]

Cigarettes and leeches are good for you.....? "Dr"? Dr scam.

[ThePrivateJoker]

"medicinal" grade leeches. What a fuck'n joke.
