    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.
