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.

FOR MOBILE PLAYERS ONLY:

These are in the swamp, they’re just super rare and you rarely will find them. They must be removed via campfire or cooking pot, same thing applies to dinos that aren’t native to the swamp.

FOR MOBILE PLAYERS ONLY:

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.

Guys according to the ark wiki leeches don’t latch onto swamp-native tames such as

Sarco

Kapro

I think paracer

Probably Titanboa

And I don’t know anything else it wont latch onto

If it’s on you and you have not a lot of health idk what to do

But if you have a lot of health then create a fire and jump on it and BURN THE LEECH.

They have a chance to give you swamy sickness if bit. Take a large land Dino like an Allo or Rex and just bite spam water to gather leech blood.

jump to fire to get rid of it, or jump to lava

If a leach is on one of your TAMES it will appear on your screen as though it's on you.

Walk up to your tame and hit Triangle(PS4 obvs) and it'll get rid.

Fire DOES still work on mobile (i literally just tried it when a leech was stuck on my chest)

i read that fire didn’t work and read that it sometimes does but i thought let me just try and it WORKED!

just make sure u have some fire pit built next to u on the swamp next time so u won’t waste time collecting wood and stone for one when while ur HP is dropping (specially mine was so low already cuz a sacro gave me a toothy kiss on the butt when i was busy collecting rare flower)

These are annoying as f. To kill these stupid things just stand in a fire for a second if u don’t the leech will suck your blood until u die
