I saw number 2 on an episode of The Most Xtreme on animal planet way back in the day. For my elementary school state writing test, I decided I wanted to write about it. Only one big problem- I forgot what the darn thing was called. So I made up an entirely incorrect but believable enough name so I could finish it. All of my facts and information were spot on and accurate! If only I remembered the name. Still scored well on it. This was back in the day where computers and internet access were incredibly limited for me and the show was cancelled and stopped airing at some point so there was no hope of ever seeing it again. But in the episode it placed number 1 as the most extreme parasite I think? Sorry for the word vomit comment I just was really excited to have this fever dream of a parasite actually be real and learn its actual name isn't burroclaudia lmao

Allow me to gross you all out. Close your eyes and imagine. You're a guy wandering through the woods, hunting a fox to make a hat out of it's fur, but little did you know, a most insidious creature has latched onto your clothes and crawled into your pants. Much like a tick or a mosquito, the stealthy creature works it's way over your skin, maneuvering it's way towards it's desired target area. A most... Unsavory of target areas... You can use your imagination to inform you of where our opportunistic creature is heading. With the careful precision of a brain surgeon, it latches itself onto the base of his reproductive organ, delivering a painless bite he had no way of detecting, and initiating a horrifying process that will leave him forever changed. Days pass and our man has not experienced any side effects as of yet, aside from a strange... Euphoric feeling, and occasional mood swings. However, inside of his body, very disturbing things are happening. The insect that bit him is not interested in simply siphoning see blood and leaving. No, it is there for a much longer haul than that... Tendrils from inside of it's mouth penetrate into him, invading and infiltrating him, connecting it's nerves with his own, and delivering him with an inexplicable sexual euphoria that grows stronger as the days pass. The strange persistent and addicting good feeling he's doused in leaves him complacent, forcing his guard down. It works much like the irrisitible and numbeing power of opium, slowly but surely addicting him, coaxing him onto complacency, making Jim withdraw from his world, no longer caring about even his daily obligations and instead choosing to spend his time blissfully frolicking in the euphoric ecstacy of his own solitude. Thus, it's no surprise that, by the time he discovered the creature latched onto him, his capacity to care had been withered away. Deep down he knew it was abnormal and he should do something about it, but the crippling drugging the creature was giving him was keeping him from taking action. 'Ill handle it later', 'it can wait', 'jist a little longer', 'I'll handle it tomorrow...' Those were the thoughts that came over him, a constant neverendong cycle of procrastination that kept him powerless to do anything about the creature latched onto him, which allowed it to move along to it's next phase... Day by day, his testicles shriveled and dried, hardening and drying out, as if being sucked dry and devoured inside out. All sensation from them was all but gone. The only thing he felt from the area was that constant euphoric bliss that seemed to continuously radiate from it. There was not even any notice when the dried husk of his male reproductive factory broke off and fell away from him, leaving him permanently sterile, as the creature continued it's horrible sins against humanity's genetic lineage. Every night, he was plagued by strange.. Dreams.. nightmares, of a female demoness, pleasuring him, making love to him, seducing him, and sucking the very life out of him. A vampire, draining the life out of him slowly but surely. Each night she brought with her a new world of pleasure, and each morning, she took.woth her a bit of his soul, leaving him less and less and less human as the days progressed, and his situation got worse and worse... A week has gone by, and signs of he affliction are now visible... His muscles mass has began to decrease, perhaps a symptom of his infection, or perhaps something else. His more masculine features were replaced with more frail and... Weak ones. The trait left of his prominent male features was a growing protruding beer gut that's become more pronounced as of late, something he cherishes and takes much pride in, in a manner that seemed much too... Intimate than to be simply pride over a masculine attribute... However, nature is a horrible mistress, and what was happening to him was not simply a Misplaced obsession with his belly. No... The creature that had latched itself onto him was... Well... Impregnating him. Thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of wriggling undulating worms resided within his belly, feasting on the partially digested food traveling through his tract, growing, maturing, and eventually, being 'born' onto this world through his feces, to start their heinous disgusting life cycle all over again. Our Hunter never quite recovered from his... Affliction. It was too much to hope for. Humans are cripplingly vulnerable to dopamine and chemicals that can replicate it's effects, something this hellish creature took full sadistic advantage of. There it remained until the day it's host died, it's tail burrowed inside the fleshy hole left from when his dried dead testicles fell away, injecting it's vile brood inside the orifice to impregnate it's new 'wife', flooding his mind with otherworldly ecstacy all the while to trap him in a hell too cruel for even those who commit the sin of lust... -I may have gotten a bit too into that. Bear with me I'm getting into writing horror and had to give it a try xD-

Wanna know a fun fact? Every single human being on earth has had a parasitic infection at least once in their life. Even you. The most interesting one for me comes from pigs. They lay their eggs in the skin of the host and when eaten it will then infect their next host and lay even more eggs in their new hosts skin. So if you're having pork, be sure to cook it thoroughly.

Such an interesting video

I've never understood this concept. If a parasite lives because of the host....why kill the host? Futurama did an episode where Fry became infected with worms, the worms did everything they could to improve the host, that way they can live in said host forever and have an infinite number of decendants. That makes sense. Parasites that kill the host make no sense!

Parasites do actually give back to the host sometimes, like with some orchids that take nutrients from nearby fungi, then give them back later.

As horrifying as this video was, and despite not being able to watch past three parasites, thank you. Seafood is getting rather expensive and this seems like a wonderful way to lose my apetite for fish for a good long time.

It's interesting to see how many of these awful, terrifying creatures inspired enemies in games like Resident Evil 4 and The Last of Us, but it's also kinda creepier to see how many inspired _Pokemon._ They were all like _"This is a whimsical, adorable alternate universe full of cute creatures to love and play with. Let's add some real-life existential horror in it!"_

I got a minnow once that had parasites in it's head (they were like tube worms) I got a pair of tweezers (the fish was totally cooperating as if he knew what I was doing. I would grab the worms with the tweezer one at a time and the minnow would turn it's head really fast but wasn't swimming away. I did this till all 3 were out. sadly the minnow died a few days later. It's crazy because it knew what I was doing.

this is very late but perhaps because it is not a true parasite but instead a parasitoid- a parasite that deliberately kills its host, while many true parasites try to keep their hosts alive.

"Study shows that fishes that are infected tend to be unhealthy" Damn who would have known

I have an 8 legged frog in a jar. That was from almost 50 years ago. Instead of a koolaid stand, a friend of mine and I set up a frog selling stand. Another boy came by with the frog and asked if I would trade a regular sized frog with 8 legs, for one of the larger ones I was selling.....DEAL! I ended up with my picture in the local paper. May have been a record at the time, but that was never pursued. It died a few days later, and it was pickled, currently just sitting on my book shelf.

The tongue biter parasite horrified me so much that I put it in a horror story which was published last year- “ They’re out to get you.” Ed: Johnny Mains.

Many roundworm species of parasites (like hookworms, raccoon roundworm and many others) actually learn to mimic the proteins of the infected host and not only do that perfectly, but they also mimic the exact electrical signals of the host, so the host sees the parasites as safe/healthy tissue (and does not attack it/them). The tough thing though is that the body allows the parasites to infect an reproduce for a long time and then the infection becomes severe (high parasite load)... so if something happens (like an antiparasite medication) to make the body identify and attack the parasites, it causes do much inflammation and sickness in the body that killing off the parasite infection can actually kill the host. At the very least, people usually get very sick when killing off parasite infections.

These parasites are so horrifyingly, gruesomely awesome. I mean, just look at those wonderful mechanisms they have evolved for themselves to live and reproduce! All this is SO FASCINATING!

We have two really large corpse flowers at the St. Louis Botanical Garden and it is a big event every year or two when they bloom for a day or two and crowds line up to smell the truly sickening aroma.

The rafflesia arnoldii is so neat! It's not my favorite flower or influorescence, though. That goes to the amorphophallus titanum. Coolest. Influorescence. Ever. I still haven't gotten to see one in person yet.
