Since then, his nose has been bleeding continuously. It was not until the morning of January 7, 2019, that Mr. Thai went to the District Medical Center for a check-up. Here, the doctors discovered a foreign object in the patient Vi Van Thai's nose. After that, the doctor removed a leech about 4-5 cm long, about 9 mm in size, still alive and full of blood.
Doctors recommend that people limit bathing in streams and especially not drink water from streams or springs that has not been boiled because it is easy for leeches to get in and suck blood.
