no most of the time you don't even feel them on you. however if you notice a leech is sucking on you and try to pull it off normally, it may rip the skin and get infected (that would hurt!) if you see a leech on your skin here is the proper way to remove it... if the way listed below does not appeal to you, you can always burn them off instead :)
- Locate the head with a sucker attached to the wound. It will be the narrow end of leech's body.
- Slide a sharp object or your fingernail under the sucker. Be quick, so the leech will not have time to vomit the blood back into your wound.
- Slide the body off with the same object or your fingernail.
- Quickly flick the leech away before it bites you again and reattaches!
- Treat the wound with wipes or soap and water; use the bandage to stop bleeding. Extra bleeding is normal because there are anti-clotting enzymes in the leech's mouth
