How to use it
ปลิงbpling is a leech of ponds, streams and rice fields. Trek through a forest in the rainy season and you'll meet ทากtâak, small land leeches that climb up from the wet ground; national park shops often sell leech socks against them. A bite looks worse than it is, because it keeps bleeding for a while.
