Terrifying Parasites Inside the Human Body

WARNING! This video may freak you out. While some parasites can actually do good in the human body, many do not. In fact, some of the bad ones are downright terrifying. Join Hank Green for a creepy look into the world of parasites—but you've been warned!

"You can't sell it, at least not legally..." My favorite part XD

"You have some tenants. And like all tenants, there are some that mow the lawns and shovel the sidewalks and fix the leaky sinks. And then you have the ones who are cooking meth in the bonus room and blowing up your garage with fireworks."

My body is a country. i declared independance 37 years ago and raise tax on water and protein (mostly). Also, fat immigration policy (Yep, my inner country is a fatcict regime). Death penalty is pretty common against dangerous virus. The main currency is "oxygen" (sugar is also considered as a legal alternative currency). The climate is really stable (~37°C).

"Don't google it."
You clearly don't understand humans.

After watching this, I looked down at my body and said, "Hello, everyone!"

Am I the only one who googled "human parasites" after he told not to do that? If I am, don't do that. He's right. There's some really disturbing things...

You were talking about worms being gross, but growing up with my mom as a dog groomer, hanging out in her in home shop as a kid, my mom dewormed us twice a year 😅

[pandorasflame]

That's funny... I googled human parasites and it just came up with a picture from the debates a couple nights ago.

[chrissmith]

I thought he was talking about politicians...

A squirrel if mine has raccoon roundworm _(Bascarlysisis prosocisiclasic or something)_ and I'm very sad to see him sick.

Parasites, by definition, don't help their hosts.  If they help their hosts, they're symbiotes, not parasites.

Read peeps. Its an angsty young adult fiction but it covers so many actual human parasites its fascinating. Edit: this video popped back into my recommended a year later today and I scrolled back down to mention a book I vaguely remembered.... Only to realize I had already done it. I'm a bit unsettled
