You clearly have an imbalance of humours. We'll have to bleed you.

Can you pretend to be a vampire while you do it? Perhaps let me read a vampire book or two first? Not that I'm out looking for someone to bite me and suck my blood but if I've got to do it, let me pretend.

Doesn't bother me. But then when we were kids we went camping up in the mountains and swam in a local lake. Came out of the water just covered in leeches like in that scene from Stand by Me. After the shock the first time (I didn't even know leeches existed) I was going in on purpose because it was cool.

And then even cooler when my mom and stepdad used a cigarette to get them to detach.

My knee-jerk reaction was to be grossed out, but once I thought about, I realized that it really isn't that big of a deal to me. They are not getting inside my body or traveling up my legs. Yeah, it might be a little weird at first, but all in all probably safer and better for me than other methods.
