Caching in crocs where leeches are about. The photo is the result of a leech bite while caching on the South Coast of NSW recently. It obviously had his fill and the wound and anticoagulants kept working.
I have found myself at a casualty ward with blood poisoning from a leech bite and received a good shot of penicillin in the back side. I wasn't too worried at the time, but the Doctor said if I didn't come in today, I would have been crawling in tomorrow. He also said it was probably more likely to have been caused by the water being in contact with the fresh wound rather than the leech itself.
Fortunately for me on this occasion, I survived. I cant say the same for the leech!!!!
