Yes, they only infest fish now, but down by the nuclear power station outfall they grow much bigger and they developed a taste for human flesh after the suicide last fall. Anyone for a swim?

ive read so many things that say that these are rare. but while working in australia i saw literally hundreds of these that were attached to the tongues of ranking cod that came in in deliveries so they can not be that rare. Literally in every lug of rankin cod we received i would say at least one or 2 had this parrasite. Scary looking things though i still remeber the first one i ever saw it scared the hell out of me. with the legs that are hooks etc. creepy but not rare.

I do believe this parasite lives in fish, not in humans.

@Boob Biter: Let’s hope you don’t count me as one of those people who freaked out.

@Reticent: No, I knew it was untrue. I just wanted to do some research, in case this person was making stuff up randomly, especially about science.

It’s a good prank, though.

You caught me. It was only when I was reading the comments that I caught on. Well done on a good prank.

Hahaha, I thought this was real. I closed my mouth real fast, lol.

Good one. Thank you, all other people for pointing out that these only grow in animals…thank goodness. Good one, Mr. Mackarel.
