Purple Eyeball Eater

First it was the Fleshing-Eating bacteria, and now this.   Apparently UK scientists have discovered a common parasite that apparently lives on contact lenses and gnaws through your eyeballs, causing vision problems, and even blindness.  It’s found in dust, pool water, and even tap water.  Contacts have been around for decades, why is this just now being discovered? IT EATS YOUR EYEBALLS!  That’s just insane.

Here is the CDC’s official website on the parasite.
