The Grossest Grossness that ever Grossed!

that's hysterical how could you not notice that?! Did she just think it was a big boogie?

not for nothing, but aren't they like bugs in the sense that they grow from something microscopic the more they feed, if that is the case - then she would not have felt it at the time she washed her face, but should have felt it sooner than it becoming two inches in length.

I thought they were like slugs (which is even more heebie-jeebie inducing) that sucked blood. Do they really start as something microscopic??

OMG I feel a little thing in the cheek of my mouth, do you think one could have been embedded and is now growing to its full length, making my cheek grow large and painful!?

I thought they were more like slugs too, which makes the vision in my head even more gross now. Have you ever stepped on a slug barefoot? It's probably the nastiest feeling in the world! Could you imagine feeling that feeling in your nostril ?

YES I have once when I was a kid I stepped on a slug barefoot... I remember it vividly to this day!

My mom always used to 'salt' them and I would feel bad when they shrank

Me too, when I was 5!! I ran to my mother, who was on her way to work and running late, and she said 'Well, I guess we'll have to cut your foot off.' I answered with a blood-curdling shriek.

Monkey, you are too funny!!!!! i am cracking up.

OMG I'm going to be sick.

Thats disgusting.

How did she not FEEL that?

Ok I looked it up.... I now know way more than I ever needed to about leeches...

They do start out small, but not microscopic.
leeches



It turns out a man from the woman's camping trip had the same thing CBS News

Kriss2c... I have never been so squicked in all my life...

the pictures of the jaws... they can stretch 200cm... and the other guy with the nose-leech... and it could have suffocated them by traveling to their voicebox!!!

I'm going to go home and take a 3 hour shower, and I'll probably scrub my skin with lye.
