Announcing: my first leech

I felt a tiny prick on my shin and looked under my Kira and there was the tiny little devil biting me.  I pulled it off and gave it to the students.  We were working in the garden. 
The stories from my colleagues who walked through the jungle for 2 to 9 hours to reach the villages where they were working for the election include: 

     •30 cm long leeches
     •leeches all over their necks
     •carrying a special "antiseptic" spray so the leeches do not attach. 

I have heard many gruesome stories and actually the local animals, cows and dogs mostly, have a terrible time with the leeches.  

I am on the hunt for a good leech photo.
