Leeches invade Atsugi
Atsugi City in Kanagawa Prefecture has got itself a leech problem! Here’s a partially-translated news report about the leech invasion (with lots of dramatic music):
It is believed that deer and wild boar brought the leeches down from the mountains, so the city is in the process of erecting barriers to keep wild animals out. They have also been cutting down trees near pathways in leech-prone areas so that the creatures cannot enjoy the shade.
