After the recent rain, i tookk advantage of some time off from work to head down to O'Reilly's during the week to do the Toolona creek circuit. Hoping the rain has helped the waterfalls, i added Elabana falls and Boxlog falls into the hike as well to make the total distance just under 20km.
Now i expected there to be some leeches as usual with this circuit and as i was expecting to creek hop and be in the water, i decided against using my Bushman's so it didn't wash off in the water. I paid the price in a big way as well by being absolutley smashed by leeches. I can only estimate that was somewhere in the range of 100+ that left there mark on me. Later in the evening my lips and hands swelled up and i couldn't make a fist with my hands. My nerve endings became super sensitive and everything hurt to touch. But my breathing remained constant throughout.
The next morning i was almost back to normal but i still has some swelling in my lips and hands. After a while all the swelling went away and i've been ok. I've got some different medications for all the bites to stop the itch and any futher issues.
