More dangerous than a piranha

Earlier I heard a story about a small fish that live in the Amazon, which are able to penetrate into the urethra, climbing up the stream of urine, and they say so in there the edges nobody pissing in the river. I thought it was fiction, but as it turned out, these fish do suschestvuyut.

call these rybёshki Candiru. The maximum length of 15 centimeters, the size of many of them have no more matches.

Usually they feed on other fish, penetrating into the gills, biting rybu- "master". After saturation in blood for 3-4 minutes, catfish leaving the "master" and is looking for new as hungry.

Man is not a typical "master" Candiru, so fish are often killed in his body, unable to get out. Fish is able to penetrate into the anus of a person, swim in the vagina, but so what most terrible - in the case of the small size of the penis to penetrate further into the urethra up to the bladder. And she really knows how to "climb" up the stream of urine. Without surgery the person usually dies, and quite painfully.

So, if you shall stretch in the Amazon, in any case do not pee in there the ponds!
