Oh honnnnnnnnn......I know how you feel. Please don't worry about the disease part.....I'm sure that won't be an issue. I've never known anyone who has had leeches on them to get ill from them.

It is a gross thing to have to go through. I'm sorry you had to endure that. I remember a story my dad told me of when he was a kid and went swimming with a bunch of his buddies and they all had to help each other remove the leeches from each other.....he was very funny and animated about telling the story.

Hang in there sweety......

Hugsss
