    Gross fish parasite

    http://www.unplugyourbrain.com/fish-tongue-parasite/

    Thats one of the grimmest things I've seen in a while, horrible! I'm just glad they dont affect humans (yet)

    Good idea for a Syfy Original low budget movie.


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    People report finding them in their fish on getting them home while preparing to cook them!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Question is, would you still eat that fish if you found it had one in it?

    Remember seeing this on 'QI' and just being bowled over by it.

    Apparently, the fish doesn't care either. Just continues to go about its business....la di da...

    Can you imagine what it would be like for a person to get one of those if it was actually possible? the thing would probably grow huge and you'd be able to feel its legs moving in your mouth the stuff of nightmares!! I doubt if it would get as far as taking root in people in the western world, but in the third world the people are full of parasites so I would imagine possible if the horrible things actually preyed on us

    I want to kill this thread with fire, it makes my skin crawl so much.
