Hello
everyone, after a string on hot days it is very cool and wet here,
suppose to have light rain on and off all day. Anyway here are this
weeks gross facts, this week is part two of parasites facts.
Hookworms
can live in your intestine, sucking on your blood.
Flukes
are parasitic worms found in fish,cattle and sheep. Humans can also
become infected by swimming in fluke infested water.
Thorny-headed
worms hatch inside pond crustaceans, which are then eaten by ducks.
The worm reproduces inside the duck, and its eggs come out in the
duck's poo. They are then eaten by a crustacean and the cycle begins
again.
The
tongue-eating louse eats the tongue of its fish victim and lives in
its place
A
female flea sucks up to 15 times her own body weight in blood every
day.
Yup, those are all pretty gross facts.

ReplyDeleteHowever, it seems all I can say is, "Thank you, Jesus, for creating me a human being and not a worm..."
Dear Jo-Anne, you couldn't write about gross things if you didn't have a curious mind. That's a great gift and keeps life interesting I would think. Peace.
