This area is the home to more deadly creatures. Huge centipedes the size of an adult man’s arm, man eating sharks, blood sucking leeches, giant mosquitoes and poisonous caterpillars and Scorpion fish.
Getting bitten by leeches is seemingly unavoidable so make sure to smoke as leeches hate tobacco. When ever you have been attacked, mix water with tobacco and pour it over the leech and it should let go. Do not try and remove it by force then it will cause the leech to release its venom.
