Has a leech ever been attached to you?

Yeahhhh, no. I am not talking clingy kids, ex, or the IRS. I’m not meaning emotional attachment either.
Has anyone ever had an actual leech on them?
Could you feel it?
How was it removed?
I see those little boys come out of the water covered with leeches, and I get the heebee geebees. (Bee Gees? No, that’s not right.)
I’m wondering if anyone can tell me from experience what it is like.
