I'm glad Rosie is well. Thank you for all you do for our animal friends.

The larval parasites infect fish and frogs, if an infected fish or frog is eaten the larval worms burrows through the gut wall into the bloodstream and find their way to the right kidney where they grow. The male and female worms mate and eggs are passed in the urine. These eggs are eaten by earthworms where they hatch, ready to infect any fish or frog that eats the worm. The worms can infect humans, but that is very rare,

They can infect humans as well, but that is very rare, it can be caught from eating raw freshwater fish or frogs.

did you not watch it? they removed the kidney in the video because it was so full of worms, rendering the kidney unusable.

[Terrier Tails]

Ohh man, I would go InSAnE if I knew I had worms like that in my Kidney. I think I'd end up removing my own kidney with my own hands! Terrible.
