Leech, common name for carnivorous or bloodsucking worm once widely used by physicians and barbers for bloodletting and still used for this purpose in some regions of the world. In modern medicine, bloodletting is no longer practiced, but leeches continue to be used to relieve blood congestion in certain delicate operations, where such use is less likely to cause infection than other techniques. Leeches are widespread in marine waters and are found in fresh water and on land in temperate and tropical regions.

It's probably a leech. More and more, modern medicine is returning to using some ancient remedies for certain ailments and the leech is one example.

i think it's a leech. if it's quite bigger than a normal worm and it's dark brown, then it probably is a leech.

A Leech attaches itself when it bites, and it will stay attached until it has had its fill of blood.
