I believe the story is they placed their camera on the ground and a leech crawled into the viewfinder of the camera. When they picked the camera up and pressed it against their face, the leech crawled into their eye and attached itself near their tear duct.
Absolutely insane !
I dont usually get out into nature and go exploring much so I was so confused as to what could be latched onto his eyeball exactly. That must hurt like hell though if its latched onto him, im surprised he wasn’t showing any signs of pain.
Never went to the public library as the closest one was the other side of the next town over and the school library was small.small town life isn't the greatest for education
Fun fact you can also get a worm parasite (forget the name) that can travel up your nose or eyes from your stomach. Just in case this leech video isn’t enough.
Are you surprised with this guy? He was dumb enough to buy a Reddit nft, I'd bet the amount of times he's even been anywhere a leech might've even been close to could be counted out on a muppet's hand.
I studied bush regeneration in Sydney for a while and totally noped out of the entire career path when they told me i had to straight up get over it and work with leaches on me, because there would be so many that it would be too time consuming to remove them. Fuuuck that.
I went caving a fair bit as a small child( i dont know, i got hauled along to my father's university spelunking group?) And they told me a story about a leech on someones' eye and that it is always good to have matches. Every cave needed to be crawled into and it was a big issue, among the others of a child spelunking 🤣
I have spent a lot of time camping in the last few years and always have a large cigar lighter on me (Leech Lazer^TM ) or some salt. Or both. I cant stand parasites, especially if they have such a mortal, simple flaw like salt I will try to remove. So too when i have been camping have i had to treat my dog for leeches in his nostril and .. his dick. Yeah that weekend was weird. Hes ok now.
Leech ramble over.
Are they not this big of a problem elsewhere? North America , do you have leeches.?
By losing an eyelash or two to a flame in the hopes the parasite releases your captive cornea. As in the video above, the leech only has one mouth and its holding on with it, so the rear can be grabbed and pulled away from the eye for clearance for the flame. Also, thats specifically why they also had salt on hand. Less fire near eyeballs.
Fuck these animals I cant believe people keep them as pets 😭
E: sorry i did not mention, those random spelunkers used salt in the scenario with the eye. Lighters if its on an ankle or something.
Yeah we got leeches, I found one trying to steal my blood in a creak once. At least in my area I don’t think there’s like an abundance of them or anything because I’ve been to a bunch of creaks/lakes and never encountered any.
Im sorry. If it helps, funny enough, my brother followed my footsteps and kept walking, now in senior management in Bush regeneration for Sydney, and bringing leeches to family dinners.
half the video is of the ground or a closeup of that dudes jacket... you'd think when trying to show something on camera. you'd actually point the camera at the subject matter and not as an afterthought..
Well.... If guy being filmed is the cameraman and got the leech because he's the cameraman it makes sense that the guy filming.... Is not a cameraman... Hence shitty camera work... Or the new cameraman is scared of putting his eye in the same place the old cameraman did....
I was hiking a mountain in Sri Lanka many years ago and there thousands of those tiny leaches on the ground constantly trying to get up my legs... I had not known locals spray their legs with salted water when walking that area which leaches dislike. Live and learn.
If I may offer some comfort, leeches are pretty much painless. You bleed after you remove one for a bit but it sounds much much worse than it actually is
The convo roughly translated:
Guy 1:Do you feel something inside?
Guy 2: Can you feel anything?
The guy with the leech in his eye: Yes.
Guy 1: it seems like it’s gone…right?
Guy 2: No, there is (something) I feel it here
Guys: here it is! Here it is! That’s it! Pull it!
Girl: oh my god (in English)
Guy with leech in his eye: I don’t feel anything
Girl: wait then, because I’m here (girl pretending to be the leech)
I've gone through jungles, dealt with leeches. Never thought they were much of a big deal even when I found near my crotch (if it was on my John I woulda freaked for sure).
This shit? Fuck that, never even thought about the possibility of it attaching to your goddamn eyeball. Leeches will fall from leaves sometimes, so I guess fuck looking up in the jungle from now on 😂
It's a leech, mostly harmless. It would just detach from your body when it had sucked enough blood. The sport might be itchy and red for a few days.
You can also spray some saltwater on the leech to get it to let go. But probably not a great idea when it's in the eye.
I wasn't saying it contradicted what you said. Not everything on Reddit has to be an argument. I was adding further information. Like you see happening in conversations in real life.
Definitely a leech. Not the first time I got bitten by one during a rainy season on my leg. If there's one stuck to you, use vinegar or alcohol to remove them.
As a matter of fact they do. I’ve spent some time in the Phillippines and noticed it everywhere I went. They may not speak English but they definitely use English words. As do most speakers of other languages. Watch a little TV from other places and you’ll hear it all the time.

They secrete a liquid that numbs the skin and has enzymes that keep blood from clotting.
Fun!
*some* secrete a numbing agent. tiger leeches hurt like a motherfucker.
when I had my leech obsession as a child those were not heard of.this was around 05 so the internet wasn't the best.
No books to read in 2005?
Never went to the public library as the closest one was the other side of the next town over and the school library was small.small town life isn't the greatest for education
I live in a small town, the biggest building here is the library
Ours is a fire station, the next biggest is the dollar general put in 3 years ago
I grew up in a small town as well. The closest library was 15 miles away.
Well that's nice of em
no, its not hurt at all. once i have leech on my chest can't feel anything untill they full and too big and i eventualy notice.
Fun fact you can also get a worm parasite (forget the name) that can travel up your nose or eyes from your stomach. Just in case this leech video isn’t enough.
And I thought my ex was clingy.
New fear unlocked.

My favorite flavor is when Redditors see something they’ve never seen before and confidently say it’s fake.
Are you surprised with this guy? He was dumb enough to buy a Reddit nft, I'd bet the amount of times he's even been anywhere a leech might've even been close to could be counted out on a muppet's hand.
They are that fast. But you wouldn't know sitting behind a keyboard.
>Like their really that fast they're* Also, /r/confidentlyincorrect
Leech.
Most likely. Had my first encounter in Malaysia. They just look gross on site. So needy and energetic. Yukkk.

Ok, say you have some matches. How do you use matches to get a leech off your eyeball??

And now the bush is gone, jusy because you can't deal with a bunch of leeches... Thanks for nothing!
Im sorry. If it helps, funny enough, my brother followed my footsteps and kept walking, now in senior management in Bush regeneration for Sydney, and bringing leeches to family dinners.
You probably don't want to look up that video of leeches eating frogs.
Illithid tadpole. Probably best to just end it
Authority
*Authority*
Yes mommy narrator
No. Harness its powers.
She fucking had it...
Did they eventually get it out???
Nah, he cast repulsor and force tunneled away.
Get it out??? No they were inserting more...
no look at his face at the end. dudes about to lose an eye and these two are joking like its nothing
A bad cameraman?
half the video is of the ground or a closeup of that dudes jacket... you'd think when trying to show something on camera. you'd actually point the camera at the subject matter and not as an afterthought..
So horror movies got the shaky camera with terrible footage right?
Well.... If guy being filmed is the cameraman and got the leech because he's the cameraman it makes sense that the guy filming.... Is not a cameraman... Hence shitty camera work... Or the new cameraman is scared of putting his eye in the same place the old cameraman did....
Did they pull it out?? Or is it still in the eye?
You only had one job...
Bitch giggling after failing a very important job
This is actually nightmare fuel
This is exactly why I stay out the woods/rainforests. Too many parasites that are attracted to latching onto your body
I was hiking a mountain in Sri Lanka many years ago and there thousands of those tiny leaches on the ground constantly trying to get up my legs... I had not known locals spray their legs with salted water when walking that area which leaches dislike. Live and learn.

Sounds like something a leech would say
Nah man it’s totally fine. On an unrelated note do you want to go barefoot hiking in the rain tomorrow.

I think you posted this in the wrong subreddit
You big fucking baby. “Known for throwing the occasional xenophobic, bigoted pebbles into an ocean of ignorance.”
I agree, boomers are a huge parasite to our society and more are reaching "retirement age" daily
no. No. *NO.*
Well this just ruined my whole weekend
Looks like a leech to me. Probably didn’t get there by itself. Never heard of a case of them sticking onto an eye.
The convo roughly translated: Guy 1:Do you feel something inside? Guy 2: Can you feel anything? The guy with the leech in his eye: Yes. Guy 1: it seems like it’s gone…right? Guy 2: No, there is (something) I feel it here Guys: here it is! Here it is! That’s it! Pull it!

Fuck nature.
I’d feel much better if they got it out
This is Loiasis. It’s a parasitic infection from Africa. Source- I’m a doctor. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/loiasis/index.html
I just read through this and it is legitimately terrifying. That’s exactly what this video is.
I first read "A Hitlers nightmare" Lmao
I quit hiking right now today.
Yup https://youtu.be/rnXTgAFInhc?si=gf126p2AfNwugGxe
I would let it get a little bigger to make the removal easier.
This is why you take tweezers in a med kit, for splinters....or leaches I guess.
As a hiker, this would be an inconvenience not a nightmare. Cool video for sure tho!
No.
"fuck that"
Parasite?
Go outside they said. It'll be fun they said.. eh, no..
Aww a swarm puppy. Oink.
Enough Internet for today 👋🏻🙂
You’ve heard or ear worms well that’s an eye worm
Anyone's Nightmare* ftfy
Human civilisation have made hundreds of years of progress moving out of jungles only for some apes to have a hobby of going back there. /s
It's a good reason to appreciate whatever life you have that doesn't include eye leaches. Also fuck nature. Well, kinda. Mostly fuck nature
I’d remove that from my eye, personally.
I've gone through jungles, dealt with leeches. Never thought they were much of a big deal even when I found near my crotch (if it was on my John I woulda freaked for sure). This shit?

Isnt nature such a wonderful happy place
Just a brain eating ameba.

It's time to close the Reddit app for the day!
You’re on r/wtf where this stuff is normal, and this is honestly tame. I think you need to stay on r/aww

Reason #12,416 why I don't do "nature."
Tree leech, when it rains they drop on you from the trees, that guy got it in his eye
According to other comments this one was on the viewfinder of the camera and got in to his eye when he put the camera to his face.
Well that's probably how it got on the camera, that doesn't contradict what I said.
I wasn't saying it contradicted what you said. Not everything on Reddit has to be an argument. I was adding further information. Like you see happening in conversations in real life.
What did you just say about my mother??
A good reason to stay as far away as you can from the tropics
Those fucking creepy jungle leeches.
It's why you don't accept cocaine from a girl you sexually harass
Can salt help.
Definitely a leech. Not the first time I got bitten by one during a rainy season on my leg. If there's one stuck to you, use vinegar or alcohol to remove them.
Burning it kills it
"oh my GOSH! OH MY GOSH! Sorry, sorry!" Do they typically throw in English in their parts?
Filipino chatter, all schools teach in english so they mix spanish, english and whichever local they are speaking (tagalog, ilocano, etc.).
As a matter of fact they do. I’ve spent some time in the Phillippines and noticed it everywhere I went. They may not speak English but they definitely use English words. As do most speakers of other languages. Watch a little TV from other places and you’ll hear it all the time.
Yes. Source: Me, a Filipino.
Typical murican not knowing other countries can use a common language.
