While hiding out from the rain in Nam Nao National Park, I was a sitting duck for ground leeches. I had at least 4 on me and a few of them bite me. I had nothing on me to kill them either, like salt, lighter or insect spray. I could just pick them off and flick them as far away as I could.

Rather you than me Dan!
Rather attractive in a disgusting sort of way
Rather attractive in a macabre sort of way
