Leeches typically become more active in the warmer months, particularly during spring and summer when temperatures rise and rainfall increases. They thrive in moist environments, so after heavy rains or during wet seasons, they are more likely to be found in ponds, streams, and marshy areas. Depending on the region, their activity can vary, but generally, late spring through early fall is when they are most commonly seen.
Leeches have been used in medicine for thousands of years, with references dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians around 1500 BCE. However, the formal discovery and use of leeches in medical practices is difficult to pinpoint to a specific year, as they have been utilized in various cultures over time. The practice gained prominence in Europe during the 19th century, particularly with the rise of bloodletting.
