oh. my. god. yesterday i was swimming in the yuba river, and i was trying to slide down a part where there are some small rapids. i stood up, and my legs and stomach were COVERED in hundreds upon hundreds of little tiny leeches. there were thousands of them, all over me, squirming. i could feel them trying to attach to my skin. i got them all off, but it was absolutely horrifying. now im terrified im going to get some sort of disease or something. ughghfhlueh i still shudder thinking about it
