Arrowhead worm

[Katnapper]

They found one of those in the sandbox of my son's nursery school - they were concerned it might crawl up a kids butt.

LOL!! :lol: Actually I did have some kind of parasitic worm infestation one time as a kid... and it sure wasn't funny at the time. My family was sitting in Angelo's Pizza at a booth, and I kept squirming about... couldn't sit still. I remember my mother chastising me, "What is WRONG with you?!!!" The inspection at home with a flashlight and tweezers was not fun. She even called the neighbor lady over to look! <_< It's etched in my brain forever....

That is one crazy looking worm! I've never seen one, but I wonder if it isn't partially because I didn't know to look. From now on every worm will get a second look. How big do they get?

This one was at least 8". I believe they do get bigger though.
