    is currently believed that C. exigua are not harmful to humans unless picked up alive, in which case they can bite





    Looks like this researcher just got bit by one of those . . . maybe that one.

    As frighteningly disgusting that picture is, the idea of a parasite replacing an animals organ without actually killing it is pretty wild.

    There's a very similar parasite, but with much, much sharper teeth, that eats away and replaces the human cervix.

    As someone who spent the summers of my youth at the Jersey Shore swimming and trolling for fluke, words can't explain how much that bums me out.
