Anyone who watches “Monsters Inside Me” will never visit the Third World. Larvae that burrow into your skin just because a fly landed on you? No thanks.
Worst thing I saw was a guy (in Brazil?) who had a long, slender fish swim into his penis while he was swimming in his birthday suit; apparently you’re supposed to wear certain bathing suits to prevent it.
I can't recall the name of the parasite you're talking about, but I do know that it swims...and is able to enter the body through a stream of water...or urine...as the case may be.
So, one is cautioned to NOT urinate while submerged in certain waters where this parasite is known to exist, as it is capable of swimming up the stream of urine, through the urethra and into the bladder.
True story.
Yup! Monsters Inside Me has cured me of ever wanting to travel to any underdeveloped country.
