Fun fact: Horsehair worms are harmless to humans, but parasitic to certain insects. These worms are notorious for their ability to mind control their insect hosts, like crickets for instance!

The worms then exit out their host’s exoskeleton through holes. Another fun fact, horsehair worms can grow up to 2 feet long. 🌈🪱 Video of horsehair wor

As the worm matures inside the host, it produces proteins that interfere with the insect’s central nervous system, altering its behavior. These chemical signals override the host’s instincts, driving it to find a water source

HORSEHAIR WORMS: BEWARE 😭 These worms normally infest bugs. However in "rare" cases they can indeed infest humans. "Records of human accidental parasitism with Parachordodes, Paragordius, or Gordius are uncommon in the literature, although many have been identified in different parts of the world from specimens recovered from the mouth, urethra, and anus [36]." I've recieved two messages from people who sent me a picture of a horsehair worm that was expelled from their body. BOTH these people l
