Happened to me once in a creek in Wisconsin. No euphoria was involved.
Likewise, only substitute a small lake in Michigan. No euphoria (and no pregnancy), only sobbing.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just keep imagining her husband. "You're SURE they're all out?"

So, unwisely, I started wondering about the likelihood of pregnant leeches and I discovered that leeches are hermaphrodites and therefore, you could not just use one sex of leech to avoid reproduction!!!!! HOO-HA LEECH BABIES!

Um, thanks for doing the research?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And thanks to that I have done some surface-level research on leech reproduction hoping for something reassuring (like leeches don't give birth while their feeding or something). But no. Although leeches apparently lay eggs, so it's not so much pregnant leeches to watch out for, it's the hypothetical leech attaching its cocoon of eggs to one's insides, as if to a rock or a leaf.
So much for counting.
