I know of leeches from the risk of infection with Aeromonas.
Much easier to apply than thousands of mosquitos. A leech sucks up the accumulating blood and their spit contains an anticoagulant, hirudin, as well as other biologically active products. Surgeons can attach the arterial flow much better than the venous but this leads to accumulation of blood due to lack of good venous return. Leeches have legitimate medical uses, primarily to aid in reattachment of digits and other surgeries where there is vascular congestion. Who knew that leeches were still a thing? No, seriously, leeches New, often preliminary, findings are spun into grand diagnostic and treatment plans, especially in the world of naturopathy, where there is a fondness for innumerable one cause of all disease.Īnd the old is never abandoned, although there is a weird propensity for various pseudo-medicines to combine to produce a new mutant strain of pseudo-medicine. I have tried to follow the dictum of “be neither the first to try nor the last to abandon a therapy.”īut nothing in the real world rivals that of the pseudo-medical world, who follow the dictum “be the first to try and the last to abandon a therapy.” It can take equally long for old practices to fade. Medicine can be aggravatingly slow to change and it can take years for new diagnostic or therapeutic interventions to percolate through the medical community. Imagine this Leach attached to your knee.
