A New Tongue
What would be your reaction if you got your tongue replaced by a parasite? Horror, right? This woman had a second-hand experience of what that looked like when she was gutting a fish. She found a strange creature in the fish’s mouth, in the area where its tongue should originally be.
Not sure what she was looking at, she decided to do a quick internet search. The result showed the creature to be Cymothoa Exigua, also known as the tongue-eating parasite, which attacks fish. This parasite eats off the tongue of the fish completely, after which it takes its place. Acting as the new tongue, it then nourishes from whatever food that the fish consumes.
