The Human Bot-Fly
This critter regularly deposits larvae in the flesh of unsuspecting people. Over time, the larvae grow and the lucky host gets his very own pet maggots.
2) Candiru Fish
These little fella’s might look tiny but imagine one of these crawling up your pee-hole…because that’s EXACTLY what these guys do. Piranhas might gotten all the attention but these bad boys are the REAL reason why you don’t swim in the Amazon.
3) Hookworm
These insidious parasites are dangerous because they often don’t produce any obvious symptoms in the host until a late-stage infestation. Early on after ingestion, usually through contaminated water, they attach themselves to your intestinal wall and begin siphoning off blood, possibly resulting in anemia or protein deficiency.
4) Guinea Worm
The Guinea Worm can grow several feet long and perhaps the worst part about these guys is that removing them effectively, requires one to pull it from the body slowly winding around a stick for weeks….WEEKS!
5) Scabies
Also known as the Seven Year Itch, it’s caused by a tiny parasite which burrows its way beneath your skin, causing horrible irritation.
6) Sandfly
You thought mosqituo’s were bad? You haven’t seen anything until you’ve been bitten by the Sand Fly…this undeniably evil creature causes an infection known as leishmaniasis around the bite area just for pure shit’s and giggles.
7) Roundworm
The Roundworm can be found in every single type of environment on Earth and sadly have numerous parasitic forms.
8) Chigoe Flea
you’ve probably heard of this one via a different name: Jiggers. The mating female burrows its way into the feet of mammals, where it lays eggs and feeds on tissue…. Still think it’s a good idea to walk the earth barefooted?
9) Ascaris
AKA. Large Intestinal Roundworms; these worms multiply fast, grow to horrific lengths and eat all your food…. did we mention that they also can come shooting out of your but like undigested spaghetti?
10) Screw Worm Fly
America…. Land of the free and the evil Screwworm fly. Despite looking like a common fly, the screwworm is driven by a pure evil desire to lay it’s eggs in a whole manner of mammals, be it livestock or a human, these bastards are straight up NASTY.
