Bloodsuckers!
Leeches don\u2019t get a lot of love. They\u2019re slimy, wriggly, and, well, they suck \u2014 blood that is. But there\u2019s a lot to learn about the lowly leech. Led by a troupe of Smithsonian experts, we\u2019ll discover how these toothy hangers-on wormed their way into medical practices, performance art, and EVERY human\xa0cavity. Yes, even that one. It's\xa0a journey of discovery from the swamp to the stage and deep into the vaults of the Smithsonian. And it just may leave you with a little more appreciation (dare we say, love?) for the bloodsuckers.\xa0
