>I vote for this too, but only if these leeches burrow in and attach to arteries before they're noticed. Then tending hard makes with the bright red frothy....nothing like arterial spurting. Shaunn

I agree. Maybe one of three things could happen.
1) You successfully yank out the bloodworm and continue on.
2) You yank out the bloodworm wildly and end up with a much worse wound.
3) You tear the worm in pieces and leave the head clamped around the artery thus increasing the chance of getting disease dramatically, but not aggravating the wound itself as the worm's head is still attached to the artery like a clamp.

Another thing I was thinking about with these lovely creatures, is something like worms spawning inside the leg if you leave them on too long or just as a random occurrence. Would be kinda neat to see a leg suddenly explode and tiny little worms fall out and skitter away coupled with a nice dose of rot flesh.

i feel nauseous.....

I also think that if yer lying down and swimming, you should get a higher chance of getting em, but all over the body, not just legs.

PS-I also think you should be able to squeeze engorged worms to make the blood spurt out the end... maybe to confuse opponents.
