    I’m morbidly curious how antivaxers would respond if some YouTuber started telling them that leeching could “suck out the Rona”.

    …Who am I kidding, we already know.

      I’m only surprised such a suggestion didn’t get to and get disseminated by Trump.

      I guess it’s hard to find leeches these days. I wouldn’t know where to get one other than a pond in an area known to have leeches.

        Ironically, medical leeches and maggots are still used in modern medicine under extremely rare conditions. They are specific species bred in labs for that purpose however.

      They are already taking Ivermectin, which would kill Leeches who drink their blood

    What else is there to do, when their humours are unbalanced? Too much blood is very unhealthy, after all. I wish we had leeches to suck up bile as well, but medical sciences have not advanced to that pinnacle of bliss just yet.

    Blood gets replaced when you don’t have enough.

    Our blood is full of microplastics.

    Fresh blood is not.

    Conclusion: leaches can suck the microplastics out of our body.

    Gotta get these ghosts out of his blood! Try the cocaine. That always seems to work for a while.

    Leeching in Vinland costs 1000 wampum co-pay after insurance.

    Most of the ancient world gets leeched for free or low cost under public healthcare systems.
