Leeches vol. 1

Vietnam's forests are full of leeches. They manage to creep inside clothing that is tucked into clothing sprayed with insect repellant as easily as escapologists escape from locked boxes, only the principle is reversed. The dogs suffer as much as we do and we have to stop and remove leeches from them regularly. 



Over the next six months we’ll be posting a number of posts of leeches doing what they do best. I found this leech after lunch, and after I had had a shower (I don’t know what this says for my personal hygiene standards). That’s proper persistence from the leech – he deserves a blog post!
