These fish go up your pee pee hole!

When the candirĂº successfully invades a human, it proceeds exactly as it would with a fish host. After entering the misidentified orifice, it quickly wriggles its way in as far as possible, often accompanied by the victim's frantic attempts to grip the slippery, mucus-coated tail. In the unlikely event that the panicked victim manages to grasp the fish, its backwards-pointing barbs would cause excruciating pain at each pull, and bring a quick end to the dramatic tug-of-war. Once inside, the parasite inches its way up the urethra to the nearest blood-gorged membrane, extends its spines into the surrounding tissue, and starts feasting.

  2. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I'd figured I'd ask.

    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
    My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and
    I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel
    free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Excellent blog by the way!
