  • Oh my! Info according to wikki: These candiru are tiny translucent catfish that are indeed blood eaters. They're not attracted by urine, but evidently, the concern is the urethra expands during urination, hence easier access. These fish are native to the Amazon River. Chopping the wily off )!!) was never a "cure" but use of local botanicals. Modern remedy is surgery. Stay out of the bloody water is what I say, plenty of other places to take a swim!!

  • I suppose you could go in a bucket and throw it overboard.

  • This is crazy! I saw Craig Ferguson talking about this fish today! Is fate trying to send me a message? I think I´ll tie a string to my willie just in case.

  • Ok my "willy"? hurts really badly now.. now i dont wanna pee at all and choping off ur "willy" why would u do that then u have no manhood you might as well just die

  • Another use for condoms, right?

  • @LordHaxor63 Thanks for the information share.Good thing that this business is somewhat a rarity, and if ever on holiday near the Amazon River...

  • @imaof4 I've heard, i think, that it's the trace amounts of ammonia in urine that attracts the fish to your *ahem*. Apparently when a fish pushes water out of it's gills they also put out a trace amount of ammonia. So viola. Thats how it finds gills and willies alike.

  • I bet basically everyone that watched the video held their legs together quite firmly

  • 0:34 That face just makes my day, it really does.
