The zombifying may not happen, but there are several parasites that can affect our eyes. Loa loa is a worm that doesn't "aim" for the eye (the baby worms live on bloodstream) but ends up being commonly found in human eyes. Some cysts or eggs from other worms can end up in the eye and cause problems (like clogging the blood supply or causing immune reactions) just by being there, even when the adult worm does not develop.
You're not wrong. The channel "Latest Sightings" is another testament to how horrifying nature can be. I can't watch most of those videos because the content is so disturbing.
It's not exactly a "privilege" to be on the top of food chain. We earned this status by exterminating all other contenders like other hominids or megafauna.

I wouldn't say this is horrifying, more like strangely unique because the worm has a very specialized reproductive circle that includes snails and birds which are two completely different taxonomies. Leucochloridium paradoxum only targets a single specific snail species. Nature can be so extra sometimes lol
@@blankaszewczyk8323 On a human morals scale, maybe. But nature doesn't care about what humans feel and how they evaluate a perfectly normal life cycle of a species. The worm just wants to survive and reproduce. "Horrifying" is what humans do to nature and the environment.

I’m a snail and had this last year. Wasn’t fun at all. Dont even get me started with humans getting amazed at seeing me and picking me up and shit. My family was getting annoyed at my odd behavior. Thankfully this fucking parasite is out of my life
wow i dont know this parasite can get into human’s brain
That snail looks scary and weird me out
I saw a snail exactly like this. I didn't know what it was.. literally I thought it's a rare specie's that has disco eyes😂 little did I know these were zombified 👀
I would’ve tried to save the snail by trying to take the worm out 😂
@@Wanderer2035 bad idea
LMAOOO damnnn
>be pooped out
>get eaten by snail
>take over snail's eye stalks
>control snail to be eaten
>mate yourself in bird stomach
>repeat
The lady explained a horrifying story calmly
It's so disturbing
I would love to snip that thing up with manicure scissors
Oh so this is the thing Makima was feeding Denji in the Chainsaw man opening.
I watched this to relax before sleeping and now I am freaked out 😱😂
SAME, BRUV! Hey, are you a real Florida Man? Please reply to me!
@@TheFunnyDictator No, fake Florida Man from Europe :c And are you real Hitler?
“Damn, Nature, you crazy!!”
The fact this WORM is one of the only creatures to be dependant on 2 different beings, one dependency parasitic and the other commensal is actually really cool, they're a freak of evolution and took an extremely difficult route, but after succeeding they're set for good.
There are a lot of parasites with a two-host-cycle, like the infections transfered by carrier insects (tse tse fly, etc).
@@jus7040 yes but this one has only one host which it has a parasitic relationship with, the other is communal, both absolutely CRUCIAL to it's lifecycle. You'd think it'd be a nasty little body snatcher all the way through but once they get eaten (by a birb) they kinda just turn 40 and settle down with the kids lmao
A lot of parasitic worms operate that way.
Plasmodium tht causes malaria in humans works in the same way lol
unfortunately, a lot other parasites too and some use human as a host
Holy crap! That is creepy AF!
Disturbing. Never thought I’d feel so bad for a snail.
That’s horrifying.
I wouldn't say this is horrifying, more like strangely unique because the worm has a very specialized reproductive circle that includes snails and birds which are two completely different taxonomies. Leucochloridium paradoxum only targets a single specific snail species. Nature can be so extra sometimes lol
It is horrifying
@@blankaszewczyk8323 On a human morals scale, maybe. But nature doesn't care about what humans feel and how they evaluate a perfectly normal life cycle of a species. The worm just wants to survive and reproduce. "Horrifying" is what humans do to nature and the environment.
🤓
What about the bug that drains the life-force from an ant like a fucking vampire, than uses the corpses of it's victims to blend in and sneak into other ant colonies to prey upon unsuspecting victims
@@Stitched_up What about common storks and crows who pick out the liver (and other organs) from living toads and frogs, letting them die a painful and terrible death? You see, everything is horrifying from a certain perspective. Humans aren't the ones to decide that, especially since they are the most horrifying creatures on this planet.
