A very interesting experience with leeches

You might have heard about leeches,but not about its features.

Even i haven't heard much about it but I have experience. I had gone to MUNNAR during the rainy season.I could just see tea estates around me. 3/4th of Munnar were tea estates,the labourers were plucking tea leaves.Iwent to Munnar by car with my parents.I plucked abt 2-3 tea leaves since it smelled good .In the evening I realised that there was something between my toes,I closely looked at it.I found out that it was a leech.My father tried to take it off,but it wouln't come off so easily.We struggled to take it off and at last it got off.I din't have pain at all and I din't even have the feeling that there was something between my toes.It was sucking my blood may be for 3-4 hrs!!!.Till night the bleeding i didn't stop .I tried putting band -aid and all .Thank Goodness!in the morning it had stopped.
The main part was that it was between my toes for quite a long time but I felt no pain !
I wondered how the labourers plucked tea leaves daily.
Their secret was that they used some kind of spray to get rid of the leeches.The leeches are allergic to the smell.

A few months later, we went to Wayanad / Lakkidi. The leeches showed liking to my brother Hariharan and my mom. With our previous experience in Munnar, we applied salt and got rid of them. My brother, who was 4 years old got scared and cried for a long time.

So when you go to Munnar take band aid &if ur bitten by a leech ask for salt and apply it on the affected part.
