Just look at this disgusting motherfucker. I don't care much about ticks, flies, even skeetos I tend to cope okay. But these slimy disgusting little foreskins make me wretch.

NSW Australia.

there are probably a hundred of them in this photo. they blend in amongst all the twigs and needles and hang onto low vegetation, literally just probing and waving until something passes by and they just latch on tenaciously. and they're so fucking gross.

Permithrin kills them on contact. Spray your footwear, headwear and outer garments.

My friend failed to use permithrin when we backpacked Madagascar. We were trekking a forest when it started "raining." Turned out not to be water and instead it was hundreds of leeches dropping down from the trees seeking us. They annhilated themselves on me. My friend was covered with leeches including under his baseball cap where one had taken up residence and was had grown to the size of a large deli dill pickle. My friend fainted from the stress.

Good times.

in the US they're aquatic, in Australia they're primarily land based. they live near water though and if it's wet, humid, murky, lush, there are leeches all over, at least in summer.

I've never seen them as bad as this year.
Flicked 24 of the cunts off boots, legs and arms over the course of a single <2h hike earlier this year. Twenty-fucking-four.
And, like you, I missed one. Bloodstains all over my socks when I got home. Itching was gone so within 24h though, yours must've got infected or something.

Yea the rainforest leeches in Madagascar are far smaller than the aquatic ones you see on TV/films. They wouldn't get anywhere near that big. Why lie?

Yeah I fucking hate them, ticks are still worse but the itchiness you get from leaches does hang around for a while and they do somehow find ways onto your body you wouldn't expect after heavy rain.
I use salt from pic related to get them off, this brand is good because it has the big hole in the cap that lets you dump a massive amount of salt on them instantly, they let go almost straight away when you do that vs little amounts.

I use the same salt of course, although I've never used it against a leech. In my case I caught the bugger while I was still outside and popped it off recklessly instead :\

The benefit of the salt is the leach will shrivel up and unclamp itself from you, when you remove them by force and rip them off from your skin their teeth or whatever it is they use to bite you can remain in the bite area and encourage infection.
Although if you catch them early and they easily flick off it's probably alright.

Northeast Madagascar north of Antananarivo in the jungles where the lemurs prosper.

Arrogant dude above notes the jungle leeches are tiny. True in some instances, but there are multiple types, and the big boys can engorge to the size of a deli pickle no joke. Been there, saw that you prick.

I did get a couple leeches on me the one time I went wade fishing around of Phoenix. it was in the middle of summer and the water was ice cold. I just assumed it was the water temperature. the water never gets that cold around here during the summer. water was moving about the same.
