Tongue Bug!

You thought the hairworm was gross? Looky here!

"The bug - which has the scientific name cymothoa exigua - was discovered inside the mouth of a red snapper bought from a London fishmonger.

The 3.5cm creature had grabbed onto the fish's tongue and slowly ate away at it until only a stub was left.

It then latched onto the stub and became the fish's 'replacement tongue'."

I'm gonna be sick.
