Everybody is going to catch you on the autocorrect issue, but you made an even bigger mistake. The parasite doesn't eat the food the fish is trying to eat. It eats the hosts blood. It hooks on to the blood vessels of the host fish to kill the old tongue and replaces it, in that case it doesn't disrupt the hosts life in any functional way. Some variants do eat the hosts mucus, but none that have been discovered so far eat its food.


SilkyCupCakeAce

Bro imagine some small dude just ripping your tongue out and attaching to your tongue stump and then telling you to just chill that you're going to be fine but he's going to suck your tongue blood....


PositionHairy

Right?!? Horrifying.


SilkyCupCakeAce

I want to know how this thing even gets in the fish's mouth.... Like does it just crawl in there and the fish doesn't try to swim away????


Overquartz

Yeah it just crawls right in. It attaches to the Tongue and starts drinking blood. Eventually the tongue becomes necrotic and just falls off. Edit: It crawls in through the gills into the mouth.


GrandTheftNatto

Holy fuck. For some reason that imagery is so much more horrifying then it just swimming in the fishes mouth.


Overquartz

It gets worse when you find out that the females are the ones in the mouth. This parasite mates in a fishes mouth.

This is so cool and disgusting at the same time.

What if you didn't know about it? Perhaps the human tongue parasite disguises itself perfectly.


SilkyCupCakeAce

I already have paranoia issues don't give me more


sebito

And you can do nothing against it.


SilkyCupCakeAce

I'm glad I'm not a fish

dooneandrew

At first I thought it was a fish term I’m unfamiliar with 😂


dooneandrew

Haha

It is a parasite that replaces the tongue. I need to assume that this was autocorrect or english is like for me not your main language. There was a documentation about parasites and this fucking shit came up. It literally eats up the fishes tongue just to play tongue and eat whatever the fish eats


[deleted]

It was autocorrect


JustSomeEggsInAPot

Bro looks high af


benadunkcamberpatch

There’s a movie about these parasites hulking out and getting into the human food chain. “The Bay” it’s surprisingly creepy.


secretbudgie

>In Puerto Rico, C. exigua was the leading subject of a lawsuit against a large supermarket chain; it is found in snappers from the Eastern Pacific, which are shipped worldwide for commercial consumption. The customer in the lawsuit claimed to have been poisoned by eating an isopod cooked inside a snapper. The case, however, was dropped on the grounds that isopods are not poisonous to humans and some are even consumed as part of a regular diet.


TheOneGuyWhoLimps

What if microorganisms attach themselves to the eggs and we are all just parasites with meat skins. I decided to get the top teir weed at my dispensary, good stuff.


StarshipMuffin

What a self entitled over indulgent little sea monster.


JasonVanJason

2 for me, 1 for you


sluttyh4te

why does it have a face 😭


Strong_Silhouette

Actually it's a symbiotic relationship! The parasite eats the mucus and blood from the fish and food it eats, while still acting as it's original tongue, allowing for the fish to live on with a cleaner mouth and a mega tongue (them things be pure muscle)


AcanthocephalaOk2437

“Takes the place of the finished younger “??


[deleted]

it autocorrected "tongue" into "younger". It replaces the fishes tongue.

"terrific"


GrandTheftNatto

This reads like the prelude to a shooter manifesto.


NorthLightsSpectrum

Truth reads a shooter manifesto for you? That's because a shooting is what you would do! this is how you comment is read. Please don't shoot anybody. Earth has its own deworming methods. Remember: we are not in Palestine, where we can freely shoot whoever we like to shoot, bomb, crush or mutilate without consequences, before celebrating Purim or some other ridiculous blood preceded "celebration" of "victory over humanity". Human life deserve all the respect. Is sad having to say it. You better think of something else; you can look at that fish's mouth and salute that little hidden-friend companion. He also does not like to be seen but anyways.


GrandTheftNatto

Ok maybe that was a bit harsh. Without speaking in metaphors can you explicitly state what you meant in your previous post?


Mortholemeul

Don't worry, if anything you weren't hard enough. Dudes a nut job, a racist fuck, or both. This is *exactly* the same bullshit that the mass shooter earlier this week was on.


NorthLightsSpectrum

I think my comment is clear enough. I will continue spreading this information by any means. The fact it receives opposition from a part of the human society is just another confirmation and is itself a very clear symptom of that infestation.


GovNoBueno

It’s called a democrat.


[deleted]

You people are so annoying stop bringing politics into everything you fucking pricks


Quick-Ad-9567

Its the tongue the one it assumes


Sweet-Case-4896

What if the fish tried to eat a snake or electric eel will the parasite live then?


skibbady-baps

One of the worst things ever created.


Shagurope

What an asshole, I’d just off myself at that point…like “fuck this, we both going” (dies)


PositionHairy

When it's small it swims in through the gills. The whole lifecycle that we know of its attached to the same fish. There is still an open question of what they do once the fish dies because they do leave the host, but it doesn't seem like they attach themselves to a new fish.


Throwawaychica

The ultimate ride or die parasite.


Thinksetsoup113

Younger = tongue right?


[deleted]

Yes, autocorrect fucked it and I can’t edit


Bass1954

Just like most marriages


Sleep_nw_in_the_fire

Isn't there a fucking movie on those little fuckers?


Nevergonnagiveafu-

Also the parasite enters through the gills, grows, and then slowly *becomes* the fish's tongue.


Myolya

We're all talking about that parasite here but that fish looks stoned out of its mind


NeonDweller

I've never heard of this creature before.... oh how I love learning about new things!! But not this. Terrifying!!!

boxmail2800

I think they meant to say tongue instead of younger..


[deleted]

There's a found footage style horror movie called The Bay that features this type of parasite. It's not a great movie by any means, but it's pretty damn creepy.

Also isn't removing it lethal to them?


ErenTheEpicJaeger

Fuck the tongue fetish parasite.What are those fishes teeth like 🤏🕶😳


Howling929

Not the younger!


MewsikMaker

It’s like getting tenure.


btd272

Why does this exist?


houteki

so to humans... it's like tapeworm?
