(FYI - This episode is a bit more bloody that usual - especially a little after the 2-minute mark. Just letting you know in case flesh wounds aren’t your thing)
The same blood-sucking leeches feared by hikers and swimmers are making a comeback... in hospitals. Once used for questionable treatments, leeches now help doctors complete complex surgeries to reattach severed body parts.

DEEP LOOK: a new ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.
Leeches get a bad rap-but they might not deserve it. Yes, they’re creepy crawly blood-suckers. And they can instill an almost primal sense of disgust and revulsion. Humphrey Bogart’s character in the 1951 film The African Queen even went so far as to call them “filthy little devils.”
But the humble leech is making a comeback. Contrary to the typical, derogatory definition of a human “leech,” this critter is increasingly playing a key role as a sidekick for scientists and doctors, simply by being its bloodthirsty self.
Distant cousins of the earthworm, most leech species are parasites that feed on the blood of animals and humans alike. They are often found in freshwater and navigate either by swimming or by inching themselves along, using two suckers-one at each end of their body-to anchor themselves.
Upon reaching an unsuspecting host, a leech will surreptitiously attach itself and begin to feed. It uses a triangular set of three teeth to cut in, and secretes a suite of chemicals to thin the blood and numb the skin so its presence goes undetected.

Am I the only one who wonders who volunteers for this?!😂🤔🙄
Anything for money 🤢
Oh
Me
It's probably most likely be the scientists them selfs they do it for research on leaches if u don't test them how are u going to gain knowledge about it?
Blood donors? I dunno
Voice acting and content is always extremely well done. Just voted for your webby. Good luck!
Thank you Kiara!

"hecc" is a purposeful spelling my friend its just for fun
They use a camera that cost as much as heavy's gun and you spelt hack wrong unless you mean vay hec
Whooooosh...

(sees warning)
Me: PSSHH, I can handle it!
Later, *NO I CAN NOT!!*
Person: swims in pond
Leeches: *hippity hoppity your fluids are now my property*
As a nurse, I have had experience using leeches on patients to increase blood flow to surgical wounds. Really cool. And the patient did exceptionally well and was able to keep the foot.
Quality content as always

Yay! I really love all of these documentaries! It interests me!
Whoever agreed to have that leach on their arm, is a CHAMP. I would be freaking out
Freaking out is a severe understatement for me.

Unlike most other bloodsuckers, leaches don’t spread pathogens. You can still get an infection from them leaving an wound though
Leach: bites my arm
me: *TIS NOTHING BUT A FLESH WOUND*
true
Me watches video and ignored the warning.
Also me: I have seen more then what you have experience, Adventurer.
what have you seen?
You don’t want to know
This is a tad bit better than the parasitic worm that eats away inside your eyes.
Squishy people vacuums. I love this channel.
You can't fool me. I'm sticking by the wisdom of the ancients, and will continue to treat my anemia with daily leeching.. and.. there's uh.. Lookit all the lovely lights. It sure gets dark early nowadays... I uh.. oh, I'll try the Chicken parm tonight, Antoine...

Not saying they arent a bit gross, but they are also a lot of fun to watch with those beautiful colours, funky walk and wiggly swim. Their backs are like some sort of brocade or tapestry!
Yes definitely! I think they're kind of cute
THEY ARE CUTE AND ADORABLE.

2018 whole year:wait
2019: let's put it in recommendation
"And you thought leeches weren't cuddly"
Me: I mean I still don't and never will. No thanks.
Super cool video! This channels future is bright
2:37 let's just ignore this
I've been watching your videos for so long I thought I already subscribed-
"You still there?"
With regrets, yeah i'm here
Made me squirm a bit >~< I just can't with the blood.. Great job with the footage tho and very informative!
You are welcome!
I'll make you squirm :3
Angel same I squirm too
Same i have phobia from blood
I love this bloody video, give me some heart ❤️
Oh...
Um....
Edgy much?
i keep two medicinal hirudo verbana leeches as pets! they're cute and full of personality and not nearly as gross, scary, or bloodthirsty as people assume :)
What do you feed them?
“That’s where our buddy the leach comes in”
MOOD
"We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood; Fear the old blood."
This is the best channel on youtube
Best video series on all of RUclips. Would have loved to know more about their biology, bit still good.
I'm impressed with the person who goes through these deep looks experiments! Love your videos! ❤️
I love how the narrator adds a bit of Witt and humour to every single episode. Or the scriptwriters. Idk. But I love how she pulls it off so smoothly. Class Act!!!
Amazing narrating! Very enjoyable! :D
Great narration 😃
It's like watching blue planet on BBC, i've always loved this channel, learning new stuff as always :D Would be great on schools too
A worm biting my arm for human fuel? Just what I want.
3:00 claustrophobia to the max
"And you thought leeches weren't cuddly"
Me:Nothing that is sharp and in a container is,especially the sharp bit.
I'd rather hold a sharp thing than a slimy thing. Slime is my ultimate kryptonite, except frogs.
Scientist: Pass me the leeches.
Leeches: YEAHHH FREE FOOD!
This channel definitely deserve more attention and love
Thank you Siti.
I use leeches in my videos

Him: yes?
Me: you almost killed me bruh!
I really love your work. Thank you very much !
Always love your videos! Very educating :)
Leeches are literally my worst nightmare but thanks for the informative video :)
Human: ugh I got hurt
Leeches: Awooga 😻
Humans: why all you just can't be normal?
Leeches: *proceed to suck blood, eat snails in a horrible way and eat earth worms whole and alive*
This is both educational and gross
Our work here is done.
Thanks, very informative. Leeches, maggots... what next? LOL
Cute fish. Really cute fish are next!

Thank you Deep Look.... For letting us know about everything

“Hey”

“Take two leeches and call me in the morning”
“Why?”
“Because I SAID SO”
“Can I have another reaso-“
* hangs up *
* sigh *
“I just don’t know about that boi”
Earthworms get thumbs up. Leeches get thumbs down.
Well... a little thumb up.
I actually love this channel sooo much
Was enjoying my breakfast, probably not the best choice for my morning video..... but awesome, high quality video like always!
”*You still there* ?
Me: clicks off the video
Oh dear God, I'm more squeamish than I realized. I think that I'm gonna....
Me: Hears warning and continues to watch.
Also me: Nope. *Nope. NOPE.*
blood? i am ok with it :)
at 2:38
HELP, I AM PARALYZED BY FEAR
i am paralyzed at the sight of leeches i need a life
Your videos are always the best.
I'm 99,999999999999% sure I've never missed a deep look 'episode'
You know it isn’t good when there’s a viewer discretion at the beginning of a Deep Look video
I've got work tomorrow.
Watches leeches
Oh dear god this is so gross...But I wanna keep watching
Oh god.... leeches are not my favorite animals....
I absolutely love this channel! I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Great quality work!
0:08
Me: *immediately skips to the 2 minute mark*
if a doctor told me they could save a limb by putting 30 leeches on me, I'd become the biggest leach fan ever
OMG I love all your videos! Subbed! 😍
Thanks!
Always learn something new!
Oh god, a whole lot of nope.
me: *has a hemophobia*
also me: *watches this and hear blood*
Another peice of me: *still watches but scared*
Can't imagine how much i miss these sweet guys in this time of lockdown. Used to get atleast 3 to 4 leach bites every week.
my father actually use three leeches to suck his infected wounds and it was very effective tho but I wanna remind you not to do it lol xD
I LOVE this channel! Every video is worthy of the wait!
As Always your videos are absolutely cool!
Thanks!
Deep Look you're welcome!☺
Me: sees comments about the blood part being horrible
“Pfft, gruesome is my thing bro.”
Me after the video: NOT MY THING, NOT MY THING.
Oof
I wasn't able to watch this thing for 2 years because my phone was saying "sorry this content is age restricted" it's just this month I was able to watch it. Thank God!
Hi Frank - thanks for the feedback. I can see in our analytics that the video started getting more traffic a month ago. This video got restricted a while back, we appealed the decision, and were denied. But looks like the restriction has been loosened somewhat.
