The Terrifying Toothpick Fish *OUCH*
It is true that you should not pee in the Amazon River. It is true that there is a fish-like parasite that can swim up through your urine stream into your urethra and embed it's fin-like spikes into your urethra and grow inside you. It sounds like something from a horror story but it is not fiction. The parasite is called a candiru' fish. An article in Urology by John Herman in 1973 describes this hideous little parasite. It is actually related to the catfish. It is slimy, slim and has little spikes that grow backwards and will be impossible to remove from the bladder without surgery. The average specimen grows to approximately 3 inches long and is about a quarter of an inch in diameter. It lodges itself inside the gills of a larger fish and sucks their blood to live. It can swim up into the urethra of women even easier because of the way the vagina is designed. This is another unfortunate example of the luck of women.  · |

^ LOL! This scares the fuck out of me, but it seems a bit far fetched...I mean, how could something possibly swim up a urine stream?? |

Re: The Terrifying Toothpick Fish *OUCH*
Their actually small and the smell of the urine attracts them, and plus when they go up... their hard to get back down because of the shape of their head, it wedges itself. I watched a TV Programme about them lol! It was nasty  And there has only been known cases of men that they effect as its easier for them to go into. |
