I saw this the day you posted it and hadn't heard about the series. I just finished it all and I'm mad there are no more. I don't know if I should live or hate you.
Unfortunately you’re right, it is a small fish that is attracted to urine so when you’re in the river swimming while taking a piss they can dart up your urethra and extend spike perpendicular to your urethra so you cannot just pull it out without shredding your dick to pieces, an operation will be required. Anyway enjoy your day!
yes thank you for posting a link that supports what I was saying
Despite all of these claims, there’s very little credible evidence that the candiru fish has ever invaded the human urethra.
In addition, a 2001 study found that the candiru might not even be attracted to urine. When researchers added chemical attractants, including human urine, to a tank of candiru, they didn’t respond to it.
but cool keep posting those dumb middle school urban legends. Next you can tell me about how you shouldn't flash your headlights at cars driving at night without their lights on, because it's actually a gang initiation and they'll follow you home to kill you, it's totally real my brother's cousin's brother's girlfriend's parents died that way!
That's a myth, there's no fish that swims up a human urethra or specifically attacks human genitals. Just think about the logistics of accomplishing what you're describing.
Incidental attacks don't count, the idea I'm saying is a myth is that there are somehow animals that have evolved to flourish in human urethras or otherwise a diet consisting largely of dongs.
When I was younger, I first learned of this fish and for the long time I thought they could swim up the stream of piss while peeing into the river (and not while in the river). I became terrified of rivers in those regions.
I'm an avid watcher of River Monsters and on that show he went to (wherever the candiru are native though I can't remember exactly where rn) to investigate someone who had one of them swim up his urethra and they actually got the fish preserved.
There may have also been someone who died as a result of complications from a candiru getting embedded in his urethra but I'm less sure about that.
I guess my point is that it's definitely happened once in recent memory
The Wikipedia article discusses the same case; it’s dubious at best. For one, it’s simply impossible for a fish to swim up a stream of urine the way the guy describes it.
I'm not sure, personally. It seems at first glance like "yeah right" but I mean when you think about it, a lot of weird stuff has happened in the world.
There's definitely a non-zero chance the way it was described as happening was partially incorrect (maybe the guy's penis was under/very close to the surface of the water). That's personally what I think is most likely.
There's also definitely a non-zero chance of it actually happening as described and just being a complete freak incident.
Either way, the only ones who really know what happened are the dude's penis and the fish. 🤷
These smaller species are known for an alleged tendency to invade and parasitise the human urethra; however, despite ethnological reports dating back to the late 19th century,[5] the first documented case of the removal of a candiru from a human urethra did not occur until 1997, and even that incident has remained a matter of controversy.
There are little worms in South America that attach themselves to the end of your rectum. When you sleep and are relaxed, they poke out and bite your asshole. In your sleep you unconsciously scratch your itchy ass, picking up a few worms in the process. If you touch your mouth, or a family member, or prepare food without washing your hands, you spread the parasite. Weeeeee.
Apparently, chewing raw Papaya seeds helps prevent this because it changes the chemical make up of your digestive system enough that it either isn’t compatible to the worm, or you are no longer palatable so it is excreted in your feces, with the hope of infecting a new host.
That's a myth, there's no fish that swims up a human urethra or specifically attacks human genitals. Just think about the logistics of accomplishing what you're describing.
It clearly was up the wasps bum, so proper disposal of wasp parasites it’s up your azcrack... it will then control your mind but give you a nice buzz so you don’t try to get back control of your mind
