The DREADED CANDIRU

Lol. That’s exactly what I said as soon as I saw the title. It’s one of the many lines of various shows I say to make myself laugh.

I too, knew of the penis fish.

Luckily I read the article:

Gudger, in 1930, noted there have been several other cases reported wherein the fish entered the vaginal canal, but not a single case of a candiru entering the anus was ever documented. According to Gudger, this lends credence to the unlikelihood of the fish entering the male urethra, based on the comparatively small opening that would accommodate only the most immature members of the species.

Male privilege strikes again!
