Did I take a bath with wild leeches?

[Japanese]

Monday, 18th of May, 2020

On Sunday, I went to the mountain in Nantan City (南丹市).

From the beginning of the climbing, before I knew it, two wild leeches were attached to my back.

After I came down from the mountain, when I changed my clothes and changed my shoes, I was surprised to find a big wild leech on my climbing shoes.

I came home,  took a bath, washed body,  got out of the bathroom, and then I was wiping my body with a bath towel ... "?????"

Because my bath towel was full of blood, I thought it might be ...

Blood was flowing from around the waist.

There were large leeches biting my waist.

And ... it would become a big deal if I pull them off, so I asked to bring me the lighter, and I close the fire closer to the leeches, then the leeches fell on the floor.

They were big leeches and sized about 4 or 5 cm.

After that, blood continued to blew out and did not stop.

So ... I decided to sleep with applying a bath towel like a diaper.

It's a trivial story, but I soaked in the bathtub with  the leeches, this means that it seems the leeches can be immersed in the bath for several minutes.

But then I did not feel pain or discomfort at all.

I don't think my body has become insensitive, but I have to be careful because I still have more opportunities to go to the mountains.

When I go to the mountain from the next time, the lighter seems to be a necessity, too.
