A woman has revealed how she keeps leeches as pets and even lets them suck her own blood.
Security guard Sommer Seeley, 26, from Portland, US, is the proud owner of five leeches which are affectionately dubbed the 'Golden Girls crew'.
Her oldest pet is Betty, a four-year-old, five-inch-long leech, but there's also Bea, Rue, Estelle and Herb.
