Nigh-dictionary definition, and I am not finding significant usage of this term online. Probably not a common term. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 00:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Well I think this is a minor subtopic of Leech and we could easily just merge to Leech#In human culture. There is little to write about the culture of leeches as a separate topic and few detailed sources: presumably any special 'recipes' are kept secret for commercial reasons. The existing section says pretty much all we're going to get. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:36, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Article is a stub, but as others have said, it can be worked on. —Mythdon 05:06, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Chiswick Chap: there is one !vote that is per your recommendation, which you have now deleted. Would you please explain where you now stands? It is more usual to strike a comment you want to retract to avoid this sort of confusion, especially after others have replied to it. SpinningSpark 12:18, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- merge to Leech or to Hirudo medicinalis - this is an inappropriate split about how to "farm" leeches. Jytdog (talk) 01:00, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
