    Spooky facts for Spooky Season #6: You may have heard that leeches were used in ancient medicine for things like bloodletting. They`re actually still used in medicine today. They have an anticoagulant component in their saliva that makes them useful in things like limb reattachments, plastic surgeries, and other procedures. Thank your local leeches!

    Discover more spooky facts at Museum of the Macabre, our 21+ only event, on Saturday, October 24 from 6-9 p.m.
