This is an image of a leech bite on a woman’s chest, which has formed a shape similar to the Mercedes-Benz symbol. This triangular pattern is characteristic of bites from medical leeches, which have three jaws equipped with tiny teeth. These jaws leave a unique Y-shaped or triangular imprint as they latch onto the skin to feed.
This mark is a result of the three separate jaws of the leech attaching simultaneously, which creates the appearance of the Mercedes-like sign. The bite site shows some localized redness, which is typical due to mild inflammation and healing after the bite. The dark color at the center is likely a result of dried blood or pigmentation changes due to the therapeutic effect of leech saliva, which contains anticoagulants to promote blood flow.
In hirudotherapy, leech saliva not only helps in improving circulation but also aids in natural detoxification and reducing inflammation, supporting health benefits like thyroid regulation and hormonal balance. This particular image shows how the skin appears during the healing process after a therapeutic session.
