  • I didn't even know there was anything called sea lice ):

  • i didn't know they were jellyfish o.O

  • Ok I finally know what the hell that is, because I get those little stinging sensations once in a while when surfing but I don't see anything and I'm like "Wtf is that??!". Feels like a little tiny needle poking in you like a sliver or something.

  • @TheMyfancypants nah man..cause im alive n i wasnt drowning lol...but yes they can bite humans they dont attach but they do bite humans..and it itches like crazy!

  • sea lice are not larvae of anything. they are just sea lice and they only really affect salmon and other fish.

  • FancyPants- you obviousloy never been in the ocean after a TS or noreaster stirs up the ocean bottom because this is when sea lice( actually are crab larvae) become active in surf. YOU are a dumbass for thinking this guy is making it up( ask any surfer in the atlantic). ps best way to reduce the itching effect is to rinse area off with fresh water because this instantly kills the larvae.

  • ive ben attacked by sealice and it really hurts

  • Well said. Some of these videos...Expert (?!?) Village!

  • I cannot believe how STUPID people are. The only body a sea lice may attach itself to as far as humans go is a dead one ie drowning victim. Get a life idiot and stop spreading ridiculous nonsense. As for the people making comments man some of you are gullible.
