Leaches and maggots are actually better for the body than the drugs they replace. Maggots only target rotting flesh, so for burn victims, it will save their life. Leaches are the best thing for a limb that is so badly swollen that gangrene will set in. Leaches will pull out the dead blood and bring down the swelling. If you are in the middle of the woods (end of the world scenario) and you break your leg, you want to have a leach around to help with the swelling.
