Why can’t we use leeches for cysts and boils?

175 views

Not a leech from the wild. We would be using healthy, possible lab bred and sanitized leeches that have no potential for bacterial or viral infections. Wouldn’t it do the same work as draining it with a syringe? And unlike a syringe, wouldn’t it have more accuracy and reach without the possibility of stabbing the cyst in further and causing more complications?

Why would you think a leech would feed on pus and other fluids like that? They feed on blood.

Plus it wouldn’t work on a cyst even if they did like to drink that fluid. A cyst will come back unless it is cut out in its entirety.
