My mom told me that when my uncle was real young, he had a real bad pain in his ear and would scream everytime my grandmom got near it. So she took him to a doctor and he pulled out a bloody staple!! EWWWW!

BILL06 Posts: 755 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/30, 08:30 PM If a lil itsy bitsy spider has you all freak out, read this lil tit bit about the Candiru aka Vampire fish of South america..... When candirus parasitize humans, it is usually only when they are skinny-dipping while urinating in the water. The candiru tastes the urine stream and follows it back to the human. It then swims up the penis and lodges itself somewhere in the urinary tract with its spines. Blood is drawn, and the candiru gorges itself on both the blood and body tissue, its body sometimes expanding due to the amount of blood. This is all said to be very painful for the poor person who has this happen to him or her. Unfortunately, they are almost impossible to remove due to the spines. Amputation of the private areas is the cheapest, and most life-changing, way to remove the fish. Actual surgery is extremely expensive and involves inserting the Xagua plant and the Buitach apple up the urethra. These two plants kill and even dissolve the parasitic fish. If surgery is not done in time, the blockage of the urinary tract will prove fatal. The candiru is the only known vertebrate to parasitize humans.
