To get a leech off of you, you need to create a fire and jump on the fire for a few seconds until the leech dies

On the island there’s many outbreaks of “swamp fever”. You get Swamp fever by getting a infected leech stuck on you and TRANSFERRING NO longer Gets RID of SWAMP FEVER.

If you're looking for leeches (to get leech blood) just listen, cuz they make a sound in the water when you're close to them (it sounds similar to someone making but bubbles inside the water). Everytime I go to the swamp i always find them quick and easy due to this and I hope this help other people too.

No latch onto Beelzebufos

I read on the ark wiki that they dont latch onto tames native to the swamp

Fire doesn’t work to remove leeches anymore. Go to a tamed animal, open command wheel and click “hold to remove leech.”

The yutyrannus, not the rex, is your best friend for leech hunting. The leech is vulnerable to the fear roar, and the debuff reveals their location. This makes hunting them a simple errand. You'll collect so much leech blood you could start a swamp fever clinic.

Fires work ONLY FOR PLAYERS ON MOBILE and you have to PICK IT OFF FROM MOUNTS.

Hi guys i read on google that if there is a leech already hanging from your body you need a fire or cooking pot to remove ... hope this helps - T♡

WATCH OUT THEY GO ON LAND AND WIGGLE
