Ditto!!!! ESPECIALLY LEECHES! Once when I was little, my family went camping in the White Mountains in NH on the Saco River. I was in the water and I got a leech on my foot. Suddenly it looked as though it had exploded into millions of tiny pieces, but when I looked closer, they were tiny leeches. My foot was completely covered with leech babies! Literally covered... you couldn't see the skin on my foot. All you could see was a wriggling mass of black leech, all sucking my blood! I freaked out and screamed, and it took me and my mother at least an hour to scrape the leeches (and the skin!) off my foot! That story STILL gives me the creeps! Yuck!

And I'd like to add ticks to that list! I found one on my the other day in school! Weird...
