Whenever going into leechy and/or ticky areas I always have swingtags
tied around my ankles which warn that any ticks or leeches found on this
person will be cooked and eaten. I couldn't eat them raw I'm afraid.

I think that with the extreme humidity in a lot of SE Asian  
locations, one could easily get worked up into quite a lather using  
this method.

I've always used soap for domestic leeches, just rub a cake of dry  
soap over the legs or where ever I think they might be a problem.

Has anyone tried this for Asian leeches or are they immune to such  
stuff?
