Is it true that dirty blood eat by the leech?
Leeches do not eat "dirty blood"; instead, they feed on the blood of their hosts. They have specialized saliva that contains anticoagulants, which allows them to feed without the host feeling pain. While leeches can help with blood circulation and have been used in medical treatments, they do not specifically target "dirty" blood. Their feeding process is simply a means of sustenance.
