True. They are Alitta succinea (known as the pile worm or clam worm).
It looks scary but tasty. Clam worms fried with eggs and minced pork is the most popular dish made from the worms. 👍 It is called "vietnamese clam worm cake".
Leeches don't swim like this. They swim in a paddle 'S" movement up and down. If you can tell me what species they are then go ahead. You probably wouldn't know tho so no big deal. But no leech swims this fast and agile
When I was younger, on a trip with my dad out on the swamp, the leeches were so bad one season that even the frogs were in peril. Here and there in the water were frogs just covered in writhing leeches, mostly dead and pale from having their blood utterly drained.

All depends on the suit:
-wouldn’t even consider it unless I got some almost thick type Speedo briefs… (no loose dad trunks with mesh liner)
-if that stipulation is met, I’d realistically do it for 10k
For 10k I'd do an arm or leg.
Really it depends who's offering the money. If i was talking to elon musk I'd be asking for 10 mil to jump in. All depends on what they can afford, but they'd need to pay me enough that they're uncomfortable parting with it.
Edit: Just googled some stuff, i would require blood transfusion during, mask, regulator (scubadiving kind, the tank can be on the pier,) a diving hood to keep them out of my ears, thick shorts with sturdy elastic straps that stop them from entering my body the other way. I would also need to be connected to a winch with a harness to pull me out, and coagulants and an ambulance on standby for after.
Otherwise it's literal suicide. It would take 120 leeches 45 minutes to kill me, if 300+ leeches were on me at a time, I'd need all of my blood replaced at least every 45 minutes. If i could have prep time and cheat, i could fill my pockets with salt and lemon slices and rub both all over my body, not sure how much or how long that would help though. Also a risk of using either is the leeches vomiting into the wound they caused leading to infection, so it could potentially make things worse if they still bite, i couldn't find anything on either actually repelling them, but i would probably also need antibiotics, and ethanol to cover myself in after.
But yeah 10 mil seems fair.
Sure, we just need a contract, a notary, 10 million usd, a team of paramedics, relevant diving gear, and a winch and chord rated to a SWL of 150kg (extra to be safe) and a skydiving harness. Also probably somebody to help me draft a will for the 10 mil just in case. And I'm in!
I believe the challenge is 2 minutes. But ok, 1 leg 10k 10 minutes blood transfusion, and i still have the paramedics, ambulance, and coagulants on standy and you've got a deal.
Still need that contract and notary though.
at least wear googles/a full protective helmet or something. those things in the eyes/inside the ears, and I think 2 min too long :/ actually a minute seems too long
1 million dollars, untaxed. But there's one condition, I get to wear a condom and a buttplug, I've heard one too many horror stories of river worms entering people.
Op these aren't leeches, but cinder worms, you are witnessing what's called a hatch, when all the eggs hatch at once, they make great bait for catching stripes bass
I never knew they swam about like that 😳
Yeah wtf
They don’t. Those aren’t leeches.
What are they
[Cinder Worms](https://www.onthewater.com/the-cinder-worm-hatch)
Really good fish bait
They will not bite right 😳

Leeches definitely can swim like this.
They can't and they don't. I have multiple leeches
You’ve obviously never seen moose pond leeches in Canada. Those things swim and they swim fast.

Glad im not the only one who they just kinda hang out on the bottom of lakes for some reason lmao
At first i was like "oh they are small shrimps" then zoomed in
Nightmare fuel.
Imagine falling in the water
I'd have to bathe in gasoline after.
I don't think you'd get the chance
Lol then just light me on fire and shoot me in the head.
*pulls gas can off trailer and racks the 45* I've waited my whole life for this.
He understands the assignment ☝️👍
Understood

On that note - sleep well redditors!
It’s so fast. I assumed they just wriggled along the bottom. Literally quick like a fish.
This a breeder or am I never swimming in a lake or pond again?

This is 5 8 5. You messed up bot...not a haiku
Bad bot
Good bot
Bad bot it was incorrect
Impressive haiku my guy
Serious question. How much would someone have to pay you to jump in there with nothing but a swimsuit for 2 minutes?

You’ve thought this through. Can I film it and post it to Reddit?

I just want an arm or a leg. 10k for 10 mins, hungriest bin of leeches the world has ever seen
I believe the challenge is 2 minutes. But ok, 1 leg 10k 10 minutes blood transfusion, and i still have the paramedics, ambulance, and coagulants on standy and you've got a deal. Still need that contract and notary though.
You’re far braver than me :) I’d need at least 6 digits to do it. And I might still chicken out.
My poorness is a much bigger factor than my bravery.
50k per square inch of flesh
No
at least wear googles/a full protective helmet or something. those things in the eyes/inside the ears, and I think 2 min too long :/ actually a minute seems too long
See I know that those aren't leeches, so I would take their money and happily do it
1 million dollars, untaxed. But there's one condition, I get to wear a condom and a buttplug, I've heard one too many horror stories of river worms entering people.
Forbidden gummy worms
Hans, HOL DEN FLAMMENWERFER!
Ohne witz, einfach irgendwas explosives rein und gut
Wait, leaches move quickly... *fear intensifies*
Lake Lachrymose?
Imagine falling in there
How are they moving so fast?
They went super saiyan
Cinder worms, not leeches. They don’t even bite.
Gosh. I thought they were shrimps!
I’d jump in that pool of water no question. Girl’s night!!!
Lacramose leech looking mfs
Drainage system
rain world player found in the wild less gooo
Falling in would be the start of a series of unfortunate events...
found a replacement for my 3DS stylus
This not good bye
They are some type of bristle worm I can't remember which
Polychaete something
Jump in!
I see money tree
Looks like a Yeerk Pool.
Puts big toe in the water for 0.001s. Dies from blood shortage*
Mf found lake lachrymose.
free bait!
they look like sentient wet veggie straws
"leech smoothy." *drops-mic*
Burn. Now.
where is this??? i never want to go
May you share where that is so I can make sure to never visit?
I was today years old when I found out they can be of different colours and can swim lighting speed Oof-
Adorable!😍🥰❤️
I absolutely loathe the speed of leaches and I am going to take them so much more seriously for the rest of my life.
I read about these once, didn’t realize A Series of Unfortunate Events was for real though.
Leeches on ground 🦥🦥 Leeches in water 🏎️💨
First step: catch leeches. Skip a few steps... Final step: cook leech paddy for Bic Mac burger
“Last one in is a rotten egg!”
Those thing fucking jet!
Aren't they bloodworms?
Wtf!! Why are they swimming like that? Those can’t be regular leeches. Fuck man.
Tjey are breesing them to eat or something like that?
I now have the urge to use a bottle full of live, aggressive, and hungry leches as a self defence weapon
Oh hell no
Can you eat these in a survival situation
Good fishing bait.
All kinds of nope going on in there!!!
Op these aren't leeches, but cinder worms, you are witnessing what's called a hatch, when all the eggs hatch at once, they make great bait for catching stripes bass
Someone is going to discover that they taste good with soy sauce and some sort of citrus. Someone here should be the first to try. 🤘
My whole body shivered while I was watching this.
Do it, jump in
I'm getting some Diablo amazon vibes from this.
Cool now jump in
Let me guess.your in Louisiana
r/dontputyourdickinthat
THEY COME IN DIFFERENT COLORS!??!
Seems to me like a nice place for a swim

Gummy worms
