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.
Everyone who knows the Funklord, knows he is a dog person. I don’t dislike cats, I recognize their right to exist, they just aren’t my favorite. Lucky me. Turns out there is a certain parasite that ONLY breeds in a cat’s stomach. This parasite can find it way into human body in several ways, not the least of which is through their feces, IE changing the litter box. This little worm hitches a ride to your brain trust, and proceeds to adjust its chemistry. According to the article, it has “been linked to brain cancer, schizophrenia and personality disorders, may inflame the brain or tamper with its chemistry…”. I should probably give me mom a call…
