		A leech is a good meal for a fish, so a well-presented imitation can be attacked agressively.
		Leeches can move quite fast when they are pursued, so some anglers fish them at high speed on the theory that a trout will think another trout is after the leech, which will trigger a greed-based aggressive reaction.

		Barbara mentions that the leeches hit you with a natural anesthetic, which is why we won't notice them if they attach to us (Hours later, on the interstate, our skin crawls as we hallucinate escapees quietly drinking our blood).
