Papua New Guinea, Leech On Leg, 1983 - This photograph depicts the bane of bush walking in New Guinea: the leech. I had heard you had to burn them off, but actually my experience was that it was easy to pick them off with my fingers. They had a way of getting on our legs and arms, and even in our shoes, while we walked through the bush.
