Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

The bite becomes very painful and itchy; rock salt is put on the leech's mouth to detach it at once.

Detailed answer

After it drops off, the leech is dusted with rice powder, given rock salt and oil on its mouth and pressed from tail to mouth to vomit, while the bite is washed with cold water and sprinkled with milk or ghee, and heavy bleeding is stopped with styptic powders.
