Medically they are used to eat dead tissue as are leeches in order to clean open wounds.

I thought leeches were used to increase blood flow, in cases of a re-attached digits, limbs, etc.

maggots were eating his flesh,

What a gruesome way to die. Gives me the willies just thinking about it.

Everytime I see word leeches, I first think of the movie Stand By Me.

"LEECHES!!!

One of my favorite movies.
