A remedy or treatment that I learned at my parent's cottage
in Hillsdale, Michigan is that one can remove a leach that is
stuck to his leg or other body part by pouring salt right over
the leach. Doing this will simply cause the leach to fall off
without trying to pull it off.

Where learned: MICHIGAN ; HILLSDALE

Subject headings:

BELIEF -- Animal
