The parasite attaches itself to the fish’s tongue, and begins to leech its blood, until the tongue dies, then the parasite itself replaces the tongue. It doesn’t harm the fish, and the fish can actually still use the parasite as if it is a tongue. It’s a true symbiotic relationship.

The odd thing is, this parasite is usually found off the coast of California and this is the second report of one being found in Europe, the first being in 2005, in a snapper (the parasite’s usual prey) that was purchased in a market in London.

Is this a sign that this creature is spreading globally? It’s obviously expanding the fish species it is attacking. Although it’s not harmful to humans, there are always issues that arise when dealing with invasive species.

DAVED-
Disturbing images, to be sure. Imagine ordering a fish at a restaurant, and seeing one of these things crawling out of its mouth, leaping off of the table and prying open your lips to chew on your fat succulent tongue! Yucko!

That’s why I don’t eat fish, you never know what’s going on down there in the watery depths of darkness.

Doesn’t hurt the fish? Seriously?! It eats their *EXPLETIVE DELETED*ING TONGUES!! And anyone who’s seen Alien knows that parasites always grow up to be something big and slimy, hell bent on world domination. So what’s the real agenda of these little bastards? What nefarious scheme do they have brewing off the coast of Jersey.

Jersey? Oh…well, forget it then. I’m still pissed about that crappy ending of The Sopranos, so they deserve whatever’s coming to them.
