When leeches bite into you they release an anesthetic into the area so that you don't realise what they are doing.

How do you get rid of leches?

If you want to get remove leeches without causing any scaring or similar, the absolute best thing that you can do is wait. Leeches are animals, and have only a limited stomach capacity; they are not long-term parasites. Techniques such as burning or covering with salt are painful and/or will cause permanent scaring. The only way to avoid both of these is to wait. Leeches are not painful due to the anaesthetic they carry with them. If you find a leech on you, try not to panic, and ignore it until it lets go.
