This is the eye-watering moment a leech was removed from a boy's nose where it had been sucking his blood all night. The seven-year-old lad had been swimming and splashing water with his friends in a canal in Xaignabouli, northwestern Laos, when he felt something stuck inside his nostril. He went home and complained about the pain to his mother, who has not been named, but then went to bed to see if it would be better the next day.
