Sometimes Nature is Not Cool….
The 1 inch long Candiru is the only vertebrate known to be an internal parasite of humans. When you answer the call of nature while bobbing in the waters of the world, this nasty little fella swims up your urinary tract and once in there can’t be removed without resorting to surgery.
This is because of the erectile spines on it’s head and gill covers that mean you can’t remove it without taking what it’s attached to along with it (perhaps an analogy would be trying to pull a fir tree backwards through a basketball hoop).
To make matters even worse these spines pierce the hosts skin and drink the blood of their victim’s….
......anyways point being, that is some very nasty shit so do not pee in de sea (or rivers of South America).
Dread the the day Pesky Scientists discover this creature and try and find a cure for cancer resulting in something going horribly wrong and they are accidentally unleashed in waterways all over the world.
