Leeches Used As Hemorrhoid Cure

Posted 09.30.2002 by Dakota
An Albanian man they call the "doctor" is illiterate. His day job is to clean the public toilet in Berat, Albania. In the summer, however, Kujtim Selami sells leeches for a living. In this poverty-stricken country, folks of all kinds knock on Kujtim's door to have leeches applied where their bodies ache, hoping that the worm-like creatures will suck out the "bad blood." Some local folks use the leeches to cure hemorrhoids, but the report doesn't indicate where they apply them. Talk about high-tech medicine!

I think that doctors are actually using leeches after operations where they reconnect detached fingers and ears. Leech saliva prevents blood from clotting, so blood flows freely to the reattached body part, allowing the wound to heal. I'm not sure about the sucking out the bad blood, though.
