Leeches Make Cosmetic Comeback In Russia

Leeches Pump Fresh Blood Into Russian Economy.  Reuters.

Leeches?  Now how can anyone pass up those wonderous benefits only a brown slimy creature with three sets of jaws and 90 teeth offer?

It always gives me beautiful, healthy skin. The blood flows to my face and makes it younger. It also gets rid of small wrinkles.

And just to ensure that you, the valued customer, only receives the very best product, the leeches are groomed for their destiny.  A date with you.

Feeding time involves buckets of cows’ blood and resembles something out of a horror movie – leeches that are about to be sold do not get any food for three months to ensure their appetite is strong when they reach clients.

The refreshing and healing spirit will be awakened in you.

The gory climax of the treatment is cutting the gorged leech in half and covering the face with the resulting blood.

Ummm, capitalism in Russia is alive?
