Apologies for cross posting

 

My colleagues in our education department are planning some sessions around the theme of medicine. Does anyone out there have experience of using real leaches in their education sessions? Or has anyone seen them being used somewhere else?

 

Can anyone recommend suppliers of realistic fake leaches?

 

Many thanks
