Main thing to take away from this show 1. Mosquitos will give you parasites and malaria 2. Never eat raw food

I freaking love this show! Anything with ERs, Virus, or Parasites.

Freaky show, these parasites are hella scary! But, it's one of those morbid curiosity things. You don't wanna look, but you just can't help yourself, lol.

Bichoooossss y dentro de ti. Me pica todo y me da escalofríos. :-S

Why am I watching this! soooo gross!

Some monsters are real! As a microbiologist I find this show fascinating and try to guess what organism is causing the infection.

Lo que le faltaba a mi hipocondría...seguro que yo los tengo todos, paranoia.

I should not watch such programs, it makes me more paranoid. #Discovery

Acabaré siendo hipocondríaca por ver este tipo de cosas.

Some ***screams*** and a 12 killed by valley fever. So tragic.

We love this serial. My bf has asked me: dear, aren't we too much like #theAddamsFamily? Us? No. People are just too common

In mijn bed zitten ook monsters.

Wat goor zo een lekkende wond op je arm...

Ff zappen naar discovery eeeeeuw!!!

Ik moet er niet aan denken dat ik een parasiet in mijn lichaam heb.

A 25-yr. old dance instructor learns she has a dead parasite living in her colon. A parasitic mass is discovered in Alana’s colon via a CT scan. The culprit? Uncooked sushi she had eaten 2 weeks earlier (Pink Ladies to be exact).Anisakis is found in marine mammals. The parasitic worm lays eggs in the sea lion’s gut. The eggs enter the water & are hatched. The larvae are eaten by a crustacean & eaten by a fish. The fish is then eaten by a sea lion and the cycle is complete. Anisakis parasite is not adapted to the human gut. It tries to burrow out and when it can’t, it dies. In a human, it’s even more deadly than when it’s alive. Anisakis can’t live a long time inside a human gut and when it dies, it triggers a massive immune response.Although the laws vary here in the US, many states require sushi to be pre-frozen, as freezing kills the parasite. The best way to avoid anisakis, is to buy pre-frozen fish, or always cook it above 145 degrees.

this show freaks me out, but I just can't stop watching!

This show frightens me & reaffirms me of my obsession with hand sanitizer. <3

Yes the show that makes me want to live in a bubble.

"Left unchecked, the maggot will eat Kenny's eyeball."

On Animal Planet, hati2 infeksi cacing dari daging babi! Watch n you'll believe it!

seriously?! y didn't know about this disgusting show? me likes it!

Reliving my cornea MRSA & various parasite infection experience when I was 17...

Creeps me out, but I cant turn away!

Why do I do this to myself?! This show creeps me out but, I can't stop watching it.

Just a way to make me gag in the morning over coffee!

Contemplating if its a good idea to travel...

Deadly parasites lurk everywhere...make sure they're not inside of you.

while eating breakfast. Yum!

Facinating, and terrifying!
