Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 They are using leeches in finger and hand transplants. Apparently the keep the blood moving until the small veins start working again. Oh yes, they are good for bruises too. The maggots are used for slow healing wounds. They " eat " the dead yucky tissue and not the good tissue. A lot of people have a problem with the treatment tho. I can't imagine why!
