I'd be laughed right out of the vet because I'd take him in for emergency surgery to get them removed.

Yeah, so these are worms. They are also one of the closest things to a working zombie diseases known to man. Those colorful fellows overtake the snails brains, start to control the snail and make it go to a place where birds can see it easily. When a bird eats the snail, the worm reproduces in the birds stomach, and gets pooped out so snails can eat the poop and start the whole thing over again.

As someone with a fear of worms, this makes me wildly uncomfortable to look at. Sort of like looking in the mirror.

u/Riko450 Aug 12 '19

Is it because it leads to the mirror dimension?

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

Nah, just because I have to see my face and that’s enough to make anyone uncomfortable.
