I've heard that if you leave certain hairs in water for a long time they'll turn into worms. Is that what a horse hair worm is? A horse hair that was left in water for a long time?
Why would I be joking? I always heard stories like that. I even saw little tiny white worms crawling on our bathroom sink a few times before, as if some hair turned into worms or something.
No the person is not joking. This happens. Sometimes human hairs are infested by the bodily nerves that are usually encapsulated within the body of a horsehair worm. The nerves are able to root themselves at the base of the human scalp and actually can sprout and grow, thus disguising itself as being a human hair but in reality being a worm. Okay I just made that up but that would be crazy if your hair had worm nerves in it.
your the only one that has this video.. i told my freinds they didnt believe that one day i step on a praying mantis and like 10 of these worms came out.
What happens when you pull it back out?

That parasite's intermediary host is the aquatic insect like mayflies. The mantis get the parasite when they eat the aquatic insects.

No. It starts out as larvae, then develops into a parasite. I tried this with a mantis once, but I guess it wasn't infected.

How did you know it had a parasite in the first place?
Weirdest thing I have ever seen!

I couldn't know it had a parasite.
But this species of mantis have parasites at high percentage.
xnissy 4 years ago
yeah , I wonder..did the mantis live ? Depending on the displacement of organs I assume both parasite and host can die.
