Better results than any phoney-baloney doctor can provide.   

I recall when I was young and quacks still made house calls, the Dr. came to my grandparents house every day for a week or two and applied leeches to Grandma's leg. I don't recall that it helped any.

When I was a kid my friends and I would get "selected' to seine for minnows and crawdads.   Anyone who freaked out about getting covered in leeches would be immediately calmed down by my grandpa explaining how LUCKY they were to get leeches on them.

"They are a bringer of good health, you'll probably live to be 120 years old now. Don't pull on it !  Leave it on there until it falls off on it's own, and be thankful !  ".

So far so good 👍😊 

We'll be hitting 60 this year, and still doing everything we could do at 13

Maybe if Papaw had done it himself instead of making us do it..... he'd still be with us. 🤔

I guess the old guy never found a leech.

Yeah, sadly I don't think a million leeches could have kept 46 years of breathing gypsum dust from turning his throat & lungs into concrete.   All of the old hands from AP Green brick plant died of the same thing.  😢
