DESCRIPTION: A case report (and video) of the worm-like bloodsucking parasite Linguatula serrata found in organ meats that can migrate through the intestinal wall, into the bloodstream, and then inside one's eyeball. Other not-for-the-squeamish videos include Cheese Mites and Maggots (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cheese-mites-and-maggots/), Toxic Megacolon Superbug (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/toxic-megacolon-superbug/), Brain Parasites in Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/brain-parasites-in-meat/), Allergenic Fish Worms (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/allergenic-fish-worms/) and Pork tapeworms on the brain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pork-tapeworms-on-the-brain/). The one I mentioned about the fish toxins spread through intercourse is Sexually Transmitted Fish Toxin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sexually-transmitted-fish-toxin/). If, however, that's not your cup of tea, then there's more than a thousand other topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/) including 21 videos on cups of tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/?s=tea). 

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tongue-worm-in-human-eye and he'll try to answer it!
