[edit] Removal
One recommended method of removal is using a fingernail to break the seal of the oral sucker at the anterior end (the smaller, thinner end) of the leech, repeating with the posterior end, then flicking the leech away. As the fingernail is pushed along the person's skin against the leech, the suction of sucker's seal is broken, at which point the leech should detach its jaws.[3][4]

A common but medically inadvisable technique to remove a leech is to apply a flame, lit cigarette, salt, or caustic chemical such as alcohol, vinegar, lemon juice, insect repellent, heat rub, or certain carbonated drinks. These cause the leech to regurgitate its stomach contents into the wound and quickly detach. The vomit may carry disease and increases the risk of infection.[3][4][5]

Simply pulling a leech off by grasping it can also cause regurgitation, and adds risks of further tearing the wound, and leaving parts of the leech's jaw in the wound, which can also increase the risk of infection.

An externally attached leech will detach and fall off on its own when it is satiated on blood, usually in about 20 minutes,[5] while internal attachments, such as nasal passage or vaginal attachments, are likelier to require medical intervention

Hello, to answer your question you must burn them off of your skin...You need to catch it or get it off surgically if you can't do it yourself, just hope that it doesn't make little baby leaches and then you will be open for a huge infection!
