Today, using leeches for medical treatment is called hirudotherapy. Many of its professional practitioners, called hirudotherapists, promote leech therapy to treat a long list of medical conditions, from asthma to infertility. Through places likes the Academy of Hirudotherapy in Las Vegas — which charges $10,000 for its full course — almost anyone can become certified in the practice.

Well, now I know what I can do to keep busy in retirement. Once I get my certification in hirudotherapy, look out world!
