I had a brain eating parasite once but it died of starvation 😢

Fear unlocked: Going outside

Moral of the story: Don’t kill standard household spiders, because they are the bane of mosquitoes

That's not a vampire fish, that's a lamprey. Vampire fish are small transparent mfs. Lamprey are scavengers.

Parasites are so spooky, we just thousands of these kinds of things that look and act like cosmic horrors 😭😭

Moral of the story: Eradicate all bugs that approach you and don't go near stagnant water

The "Vampire fish" shown is actually a lamprey, which is harmless to humans. Lamprey don't even live within the Amazon, they live throughout North america where they use their strange mouths to latch on to other fish and suck their blood. Vampire fish are an actual fish species found in the Amazon, however, they are not a species of catfish and do not mutilate your reproductive organ. The species of fish he describes here, the Candiru, is a small species of catfish that lives in the Amazon and is RUMORED to swim up the male reproductive organ, they are also called the Toothpick fish or Vampire fish, however, the previously mentioned Vampire fish is an entirely different species than the Candiru.

Btw the Vampire Fish is more or less bull. There’s only been one alleged attack, and it does NOT look like a Lamprey.

Thanks, now I have more things to be terrified of, as if the world wasn't scary enough.

"Why don't you ever leave Europe?" "Hahaha no thanks. I like being healthy."

Worth mentioning that the Vampire fish/Candiru section is incorrect. Candiru are indeed catfish and have spines, but they don't look like eels or have concentric circles of teeth. The photograph in the section is actually of a lamprey, which does have these features, but lampreys are much larger, don't attack prey in this way, and don't have backwards-facing spines. Instead, they latch on to the outside of their prey - usually larger fish - and use their teeth to bore into their victim's flesh.

Toxoplasma Gondi is also said to infect humans and increase the infectee's affevtion towards cats On an unrelated note I have 72 cats and am looking for a 73rd

I found this quite educational. For instance, I learned that I don't want to leave the house ever again!

Everyone: “Go outside! Get some sun!” Outside:

Parasites are too strange and creepier and my fear of parasite is loa loa, guinea worm and botfly

I'm never fricking leaving my house
