At last breeding is the only way to get it in bulk. I suggested them. As you know, as Indian Viagra Trombidium i.e. Red Velvet Mite is used since generations in India. This rain insect (In fact mite) is collected as the monsoon rains start. It is hardly one week business but bulk collection is done. I have written a lot on its different aspects and published so many papers. When a trader came to me for permanent solution I suggested him to start breeding program. He assinged it to me and I am in process of developing new methods. When I am typing this message, thousands of mites are active in large insect box made from glass and filled with soil. They make no noise. (But at sharp 1AM another insect species make specific noise and then I have to give them herbs as food. ) Vijayashankar ji, without any delay please consult Homoeopath in order to get rid from tick allergy in single dose, forever. (I am also a student of Homoepathy but I am more engaged in Agrohomoeopathy.) In forests where I visit a fly called Andhiari Machhi is most dangerous one. The Healers say that this fly forces the carnivores to stay in dark place during day time. These flies like me, it seems. Once their attack made swelling in my head and within hour my head was looking like football. There was no pain. The Healers warned me to avoid consuming sugar in any form before entering in forest in order to get protection. Whenever I visit to North-East for consulation work I keep Homoeoparthic MT for external use. It protects from leeches. In Ayurveda "Rakta Mokshan" is performed with the help of leeches. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 10:46 PM, Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: I also dont mind leeches climbing on me, but there are risks if some one is allergic to it. It almost dissolves a part of the flesh on allergic persons, and secondly, if it goes inside ur ears then its really bad. Quercus forests in Himalaya can be one of the place where you can find leeches for sure and for sure people will be happy if you are collecting them. By the way, why dont you breed it Oudhia sir!!

The leaches would suck bad blood (what we were told as children), slowly swell up and fall down. Not seen such healers for a long time. Perhaps Dr. Oudhia can throw some light. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

It bleeds for some time and then stops. We have plenty of them now, it will increase during the north east monsoon. If you try to stop the bleeding, some irritation on the spot occurs which can last for a few months. Not harmful in any way. It bleeds as long as the sputum remains in the wound and then stops by itself. However, tobacco juice is a very safe way of preventing the leeches from climbing on to your limbs. Regards Yazdy.
