If leeches are moist, water loving critters, then no self-respecting tick would get near it to feed. Ticks prefer mammals or reptiles.
nope, some leeches do not suck blood.
They suck the blood of animal hosts, they would be considered carnivorous.
Leeches which suck blood inject substances, like hirudin, which avoid blood clotting and suppress the immunitary reaction.
After a reattachment surgery, patients can suffer from "venous congestion". This means that blood is being pumped to the area, but cannot be pumped out because the blood vessels in the new digit are too small and delicate to be surgically attached. The leeches are used to drain this trapped blood until the body reconnects the severed blood vessels and can drain the blood on its own.

Leeches suck blood and it was believed that leeches would actually suck the bad blood\diseased blood out of your body. Today leeches are used after reattachment of body parts, particularly fingers and toes. The leeches relieve the congestion of blood in the affected parts. The leeches also put a chemical into the blood in the area of the attachment that prevents blood from clotting.

It is false that leeches have a diet made up entirely of carrion. Leeches attach to a host and suck there blood that is how they live.
