00:00In the first glance, these men seem to be drowning in the water.
00:18But if they surrender, each of them will be swallowed by the sharks.
00:34Why did they give in to the sharks?
00:37The netizens are not hesitating to comment.
00:50Your challenge is awesome, idol!
00:53Count me in!
00:55Really?
00:57The creature that you can see swallowing blood in the 20 men in the video is Linta.
01:03Linta or leech is classified as tyrodinia saphylum annelida or segmented fleas.
01:09They are known for being able to stick to the skin of other animals and swallow blood.
01:13There are two suction cups of Linta.
01:16One in the front and one in the back.
01:18Usually, Linta can be found in rivers, lakes, plains, and in wetlands.
01:23You know a lot, bro!
01:27Welcome to our vlog.
01:31We met the men in the video in Bayug, Buagat, El Sur.
01:35And what they did was an alimatok challenge.
01:39They were challenged by Jonel Bacpa, their leader.
01:42This is a challenge, a contest.
01:44Within two minutes, the one who can catch the most alimatok wins the prize.
01:48Alimatok, in Bisayan, means Linta.
01:51We decided to do this challenge because it's hard to catch an alimatok.
01:58Because we know that if the alimatok sticks to the skin, it's hard to remove.
02:03A lot of people are afraid of that.
02:05Here, we have a lot of alimatok.
02:07One, two, three, go!
02:10In the video, there are three men who swam in the river at the same time.
02:15You have to put your tail forward.
02:18You have to swim forward within two minutes.
02:20In the beginning, some of them are still moving in the water to get closer to the alimatok.
02:26While others are just standing still.
02:30One of Jonel's challengers is Rommel.
02:33Rommel knows that there are a lot of alimatok in their area.
02:37He's afraid of this.
02:39But even if he's nervous, he's still brave.
02:44Alan is also like that.
02:46He's the oldest member of the group.
02:50Can you do it?
02:54After two minutes, they got up.
03:00That's when they saw
03:04a bunch of alimatok
03:06clinging to their teeth.
03:09Rommel was almost crushed by the alimatok.
03:12Be careful!
03:18When he tried to remove it,
03:22his tooth fell out.
03:27It's hard to remove. It hurts.
03:30Alan was also crushed by the alimatok.
03:31He was also crushed by the alimatok.
03:41The removed alimatok
03:43was put inside a container.
03:47What do you call an alimatok?
03:50Sipsip.
03:53What do you feel when you bite an alimatok?
03:56It hurts.
03:57Did you know that biting an alimatok doesn't hurt?
03:58It has a natural anesthetic.
04:00It has an anesthetic.
04:02And it has a natural anticoagulant
04:04so that your blood won't clot or form.
04:06You know a lot, bro.
04:09Most alimatoks are not dangerous.
04:11They are afraid of small animals
04:13or things that can be bitten.
04:15Freshwater leeches
04:17cling to human skin
04:19and suck blood.
04:21And eventually,
04:23they will also leave the skin.
04:25But why is blood
04:26alimatok's favorite food?
04:28Because they are parasitic.
04:30In order to process,
04:32they need the protein of blood
04:34for their survival.
04:36How can you remove it?
04:38It's advisable not to pull it.
04:40Because if you pull it,
04:42it might leave its teeth
04:44and become the source of your infection.
04:47The best thing is
04:49if you have salt,
04:51put some salt
04:53so that the alimatok will release.
04:54But did you know that
04:56alimatoks are part of ancient medicine?
04:58In ancient Egypt and Greece,
05:00it is believed that blood
05:02can cure diseases.
05:04Alimatoks cling to the skin
05:06to suck blood.
05:08This process is called leeching
05:10or heredotherapy.
05:12According to Junel,
05:14he finished his task.
05:16They also cleaned their teeth
05:18using soap to avoid infection.
05:20Alimatoks are not just
05:22fish.
05:24They are also threatened
05:26by lizards
05:28such as vampires
05:30that love to suck blood.
05:33But for these animals,
05:35it is better to let them
05:37to ensure our safety.
05:41Thank you, King!
05:54Thank you, King!
05:56Thank you, King!
05:58Thank you, King!
06:00Thank you, King!
