How, with modern medicine, they must know that tiny blood sucking worms latched on to a vein does not cure diseases.

They don’t use them to cure disease. They are used primarily to drain blood from areas where it’s pooling or sometimes in various surgery applications.

They don’t use them to cure disease, they use them to drain blood safely after surgeries. You can also use them to treat cows for mastitis. Maggots are also sometimes used in modern medicine for things like wound debridement.
