I Wish I Had a Parasite Growing on me.

And here it is. I found this rather interesting, so I’m going to share it.

So, I was watching a show on my FAVORITE tv station, Discovery Health Channel. The show was called “Vanished Twins,” which was about a rare case called fetus in fetu. One website it here. (With medical reasoning and pictures) What basically happens is one of the “twins” becomes a lifeless (i.e. no internal organs) parasite for the other twin, but what remains are formations of body parts (such as legs, arms, face…etc). The pictures were astounding. One detailed, remarkable photo about a Russian boy named Nikita can be found here. This show made me amazed (once again) to how much we don’t know.
