Surely you don't mean to imply that medical "science" can't do any better
than leaches in 2006? Maybe they like to trot these things out for the
papers, but I bet there are better ways to consume bacteria
without turning these little parasites loose on them. Anyway, I bet they
taste better with mushrooms before they lie about sucking up pus out of
somebody's bacteria infested wounds? Dont'cha think? <grin>
By they way, I think we're all pus sucking parasitic leaches; we're just
better at it.
