It's not good, obviosly. I hope it can be wiped out before it wipes
anyone else out....

There is a parasite that enters through your penis while you are
swimming, and then latches onto whatever it wants, and starts to grow.
I don't know why, but that makes me shiver more than any of the other
parasites.

This could keep more people out of the water than the movie "Jaws".
