    Barnacles are awesome. People always get shocked when I tell them they're crustaceans, and even look like little shrimps at one point during their life cycle. If you sliced a barnacle open, it would look like an upside-down shrimp, planted head-first on the ground, with it's "feathers" being it's legs it once used to swim. Barnacles even have eyes, although they're incredibly small and completely stuff inside their shell, so they're basically useless. Just leftovers from when they were once free-swimming larvae.
    Also, their larval stage has 2 parts: Nauplius, and Cyprid. Shrimp also have 2 larval stages, the first is also called a Nauplius, but the second is called Mysis. Then they become Shrimplets, which is the cutest name for a baby arthropod I've ever heard next to spiderlings. Also, I just want to reference Tadpole Shrimp, which you guys have a video on (It's awesome btw), they're very interesting because they pretty much look like their larval stages their whole lives. I guess that's part of what makes them so primitive and ancient?
    I highly encourage anyone who is interested in barnacles to go look up pictures of their larval stages, they look pretty neat. The Nauplius stage was shown here, but not the Cyprid stage.

      When I worked in a Tampa, Fl hospital in 1983, a Latino woman was transferred to our hospital from a smaller hospital south of us. Her house was on a channel. She was getting into or out of their boat and scraped her leg on barnacles on the dock. She developed Hepatitis and was in bad shape when she came to us. Her skin color was orange. She died a few days later. You were lucky.

    I find it odd how recently there's been such a big catering toward those with trypophopia, a very rare type of phobia, yet I don't think I've ever seen a single form of media that gives a warning for arachnophobia, one of the highest phobias in the world. More people are afraid of spiders than they are of death but we gotta make sure we don't have a bunch of holes lumped together without warning some one!!!
    Not saying don't put the warning, just saying it's a weird thing I've noticed.

    As a child, I did not understand why I could not be anywhere near the side of any boat which had been in the water long enough to have barnacles. It was not until I was in my 20's when I learned why. After the creation of the internet, someone told me to look up trypophobia. It was a mistake which I regret to this day.
    While any video I click here on youtube is automatically paused when it loads, (buffering purposes) I do thank you for the heads up warning at the beginning.
    I did not have to close the tab in a blind panic, and could click play while scrolling comments in order to register the view for the channel without ever seeing that which I would not agree to see.
    Thank you for that.
    It's not the hole which consumes the soul. lol
    It is the number of holes and their placement which is the trigger for me.
    I can not even watch butter in a frying pan.
    I CAN look at one or even a few barnacles. But not the amount typically found on an object submerged in water.
