Assassin bug describes the feeding of assassin bugs as something different from hematophagy, and describes the bites of assassin bugs on humans in a way that sounds more like defense than feeding. Which is correct? Or is it both?Jon the Geek July 9, 2005 16:21 (UTC)
http://www.sclero.org/medical/symptoms/skin/digital-ulcers.htmlquotes The Seattle Times 08/04/04 on "maggot debridement therapy".
I'm not logged in at the moment, and don't have time for a properedit right now. I may edit the main article tonight.
I tagged the bit about leeches because on theleeches page it says, "All leech species are carnivorous. Some are predatory, feeding on a variety of invertebrates such as worms, snails, insect larvae, crustaceans, while avery few are haemophagic."
Certain sections of the article are difficult to understand, I think they would benefit from a rewrite or reorganisation.

Under the "Mechanism and evolution" section, it reads: 'blood is acquired either by sucking action directly from the vases'. Blood from vases? Huh? Maybe it's meant to be veins?— Precedingunsigned comment added by122.107.236.88 (talk)02:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why this article does not mention the word "Sanguivore"?__DrChrissy (talk)17:26, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Desmoteplase is mentioned in this article as a hematophage-inspired drug that helps with strokes.A cursory glance at desmoteplase's wiki page reveals that the drug, unfortunately, didn't live up to the hype. Should this page be edited to reflect that?83.212.233.180 (talk)06:47, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the second paragraph inmechanism and evolution what doeshembiochemical mean. I don't think that it's an actual term. I think we should rephrase this sentence. Any suggestions?— Precedingunsigned comment added byEpicsharkmonster (talk •contribs)18:53, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
