It makes it healthier
since leeches feed by sucking the blood out of their hosts.......they can be used in quantity to suck impurities or toxins out
to help reattach tissues by sucking the blood to help the blood flow until the vein reconnects.
Ticks do not suck blood from leeches. Leeches are blood-sucking parasites themselves, while ticks feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles. They have different feeding behaviors and habitats.
Leeches have specialized jaws that they use to bite into a host's skin. They secrete anesthetic and anticoagulant substances into the wound, making the blood flow easier, while their saliva helps to prevent the host's blood from clotting, allowing the leech to feed on a blood meal.
Yes, leeches are a type of parasite because they feed on the blood of other organisms without providing any benefit in return. They attach to their hosts and consume blood for sustenance.

Leeches drink blood to obtain nutrients and sustain their life. Blood is rich in proteins, fats, and other essential nutrients that leeches need for survival. Leeches have evolved to feed on blood as a primary food source.
A leech is an annelid or segmented worm related to earthworms. Most are aquatic although there are land leeches in the tropics. Some leeches are blood sucking parasites but others are predators.
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.
First they wait and when they sense a person passing by, they fall on the person. If they don't score a direct hit, they follow their victim. They poke the skin and then they bite it with their teeth and they have lots of teeth! Then they suck the blood until their full. Some leeches help people in hospitals by sucking the blood. The wound lets in fresh oxygen and saves the victim.
