CATDOLL : CATDOLL: There are leeches in the conchs I caught in the river, what should I do~~~

1. There are leeches in the conchs I caught in the river. What should I do?

Leeches are afraid of salt, so use salt to drive them away and get them out of the conch.

Leeches, commonly known as leeches, have been recorded in the Shennong Bencao Jing and have high medicinal value [1]. They grow and reproduce in inland freshwater areas and are a traditional Chinese special medicinal aquatic animal. Their dried products are used as Chinese medicine after being soaked, and have the effects of treating stroke, hypertension, blood stasis, amenorrhea, and traumatic injuries. In recent years, it has been discovered that leech preparations have special effects in preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. In the past, they were mainly caught naturally. Due to the abuse of pesticides and fertilizers in recent years, and the pollution of the environment by industrial and agricultural "three wastes", wild natural resources have been sharply reduced. With the in-depth development of the medicinal value of leeches, their market demand potential is huge. Around 1995, natural seedlings were caught in southern China and artificial breeding was successfully carried out for the first time. Breeding has not been carried out in northern China due to seedling and technical reasons.

2. How to remove leeches when eating snails

First put it in clean water for two days to allow the snails to spit out all the dirt. Then blanch it in hot water before cooking and everything will be gone.

3. Leeches feed on snails. So what substances or smells in the snails attract leeches?

The snail's blood attracts leeches.

4. Will leeches lay eggs in snails?

There is such a saying, but it has nothing to do with consumption. With temperatures over 100 degrees, leeches would have died long ago!

5. When raising leeches and feeding snails, should we feed them directly or crush them?

Throw live snails directly into the pond and the leeches will eat them themselves without having to crush them.

6. Can leeches and lotus be raised together? Can lotus and snails be raised together? If anyone knows, please help me answer. Thank you! !

Leeches and lotus can be raised together; lotus can be raised together with snails. Leeches suck the blood or body fluids of animals, which is harmless to lotus. Snails eat rotten plants and young leaves of plants, but they cannot eat lotus stems and buds. My lotus pond is full of snails, and they prefer to eat rotten stems and leaves, which is not harmful to lotus at all.
