ok...this is gross...in Australia.. http://www.earthtimes.org...s-eye.html
Sydney - Doctors at a Sydney hospital used saline solution to remove a leech that had attached itself to an Australian woman's eyeball, news reports said Monday. "It was tucked up underneath her upper eyelid," emergency room doctor Toby Fogg said. "Our little fellow started off at about half a centimetre and by the time we removed it, it was about 2 centimetres long. It had quite a good lunch." The 66-year-old woman was gardening when the leech found its way into her eye. Fogg said using tweezers was ruled out because that could have led to infection if the leech's head had lodged in the eyeball. The doctors' report on the case was published in the journal of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine. Fogg said the use of a saline solution was a novel approach, and is now recommended for such cases, which he said are more common than people may think. | |

K did they inject the saline solution into the leech or use it to flush the area the leech was feeding so it would react and release? The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |

I gardened all weekend long and got not one leech in my eye. Ah yes! But You're not in Australia! Everytime I step foot in my backyard there's a chance I may be beaten savagely by a kangaroo, impaled by an echidna, poisened by a variety of venomous creepy crawlies or get an insideous leech under my eyelid! | |

Ahhh I Australia.
For over a year I had one of the following living in my backyard unaware. I finally figured out what my dog would be barking at on occasion at the pond and shrubs when I had it landscaped. | |

The lizard in my backyard was a water dragon and it was over 1 metre in length... I had my neighbour come over to pick it up and release it back to the local creek and wild reserve. | |

Yah I'm in Melbourne, I think it would have originally come from the creek/reserve which is around the corner from my home and then found it's home in my large freshwater pond and shrubs. It didn't eat any of my fish but my mexican walking fish and eel went missing... Water dragons and blue tongues are common to this state. | |
