    As we hiked through the jungle trails, we saw alimatok (leeches) everywhere. These thin little inch-long things look like worms and sit on leaves waving around, looking for something to grab. When they fasten onto your skin, they begin to suck blood, swelling up in the process. At every rest along the trail, I'd pull off my boots to inspect for alimatok. I got to the point that whenever I felt a slight itch on some part of my foot or leg, I knew right away it was probably an alimatok. There's a certain kind of alimatok that goes straight for your eyes. If not quickly removed, it can cause blindness. We learned to be especially vigilant against these.
