I love mud pie....oh...you mean the one made with dirt and water...
I'll pass. I get my hands dirty enough just touching patients who are hygiene impaired.

Some years ago I heard from a substitute teacher that they weren't even teaching a course titled "Health" in schools anymore. Gee, that makes sense.

Misclassified for Centuries, Medicinal Leeches Found to Be Three Distinct Species

Genetic research has revealed that commercially available medicinal leeches used around the world in biomedical research and postoperative care have been misclassified for centuries. [...]
The study also shows that wild European medicinal leeches are at least three distinct species, not one.

Medicinal or not, Just let me say this: EEEWWWWWWWW.

Uh, not until I take the patient back to the room. We don't put on gloves to do vital signs or admit. I gag behind my mask sometimes, though. Luckily, we don't get too many patients who have a hygiene impairment, except on Friday afternoons.
