Some people are turning to leech therapy because once attached to specific areas, they release a anti-clotting chemical into the body and by sucking the blood, it pulls that blood to damaged tissue. This could be incredibly useful in transplant or grafting procedures, for areas that are nearly "dead" because of lack of blood flow, etc. Also to note, the leech's bite comes with an included natural painkiller so that you won't feel it - those leeches think of everything. Could you do it? Here is more information if you're still curious.
