The secretion of leech saliva contains a whole complex of biologically active substances - it contains more than a hundred medicinal components, enzymes, hormones, vitamins and amino acids, as well as a special substance hirudin, which makes the blood more fluid, which prevents the formation of unnecessary platelets.
