Never Allow It To Lick You

Throughout the animal kingdom, tongues are used for a wide range of purposes, such as communicating, eating and cleaning, but as with everything in nature, there is always a dark side, whether using those tongues as brutal bullets, sharp shredding or even poison-filled killing machines. These are the animals you should

never

allow

to

lick

you, dangerous dogs, for most of us, being

lick

ed by a dog is enough to make our hearts melt, regardless of the bad breath and stringy drool; However, for some dog owners, their pup's licking comes with something much more. worse in 2019, Marie Traynor felt unwell after returning from a vacation in the Caribbean.

At first she thought she had the flu, but after developing fever, nausea and back pain, she went to the hospital shortly after arriving, her condition rapidly deteriorated, she lost consciousness and was hospitalized. In a medically induced coma, his arms and legs turned horribly purple as gangrene struck by cutting off the blood supply to his extremities. Doctors were baffled at first, thinking he had a travel-related illness, but seven days later They made the shocking discovery of the true cause. According to her condition, it was not a tropical disease but came from her dog licking a cut on her arm.

Harmless as it may seem, the saliva of most dogs contains a bacteria called capnocytophagy Cannon morsus, this bacteria is usually spread through bites, but sometimes all. It takes an innocent lick on an open wound for transmission to occur and prevent the deadly infection from spreading. Doctors removed the affected areas of the coach's body. Unfortunately, this meant amputating his arms and legs. Fortunately, capnocytophagy is usually not that dangerous for humans. The symptoms resemble those of the flu, but in rare cases it is extremely fatal, to the point that approximately 3 in 10 people who develop a severe capnocytophagy infection die.

Unfortunately, that was the case for a 63-year-old German man who also contracted the disease when he was licked by his dog. He suffered fatal septic shock that caused several of his organs to fail after just 16 days of treatment, but remember, As deadly as these cases are, they are still extremely rare, so keep playing with your canine companions, just be sure to wash off any drool. After playtime, the cat got your tongue. If you've ever been licked by a cat, you know the chilling sensation that accompanies it. Pure, are your cat's intentions. His tongue may feel strangely stinging and painful.

This is because a kitten's tongue is full of thousands. of rear-facing barbs called papillae these barbs are made of keratin, the same hard protein that makes up a cat's claws, unfortunately these papillae make a cat's tongue as rough as sandpaper which they use to comb their hair and groom their fur a bit like a built-in brush, but that's not all the dangerous pasteurella multo cida bacteria is found in up to 90 percent of cats' saliva, all it takes is one cute kitty to lick an open wound to transmit infection in a devastating way, that's exactly what happened to an 80-year-old woman in Australia after her cat licked a scratch on her arm, the woman's family found her unconscious in her bed before rushing her to a hospital. hospital.

She was in a coma for nine days and then tragically passed away just two weeks after her pet innocently licked her, although it's not just House cats that have dangerous tongues Big cats like lions, cheetahs and tigers have tongues that are full of the same saliva-covered quills, except these papillae are larger and sharper. This guy found out that, the hard way, all he needed was just a few licks. friendly cheetah to tear the skin off your arm and make it bleed Even when these animals are friendly, they are still lethal. These dagger-shaped tongues are not for cutting humans, however, big cats use these pointed projections to give themselves a deep blow that helps Hide your scent from any potential prey.

The sharp papillae can also act as a meat grinder, helping to remove meat from your prey's fur while tenderizing their food. Who knew a single tongue could be such a deadly multi-tool? Intriguing snails Who do you think is the most feared carnivore in the sea? I'll give you a hint: it's not the great white shark, the killer whale or the giant octopus, curiously for many animals, it's a cone snail, yes, you heard right, how? Could a snail exactly be one of the deadliest predators in the ocean and the answer lies beneath its beautiful exterior, where these wild snails keep a deadly secret to getting to dinner?

Some species of cone snails have developed a brutal hunting method known as hook and line starting. The mollusks extend a tongue-shaped proboscis out of their mouth and then, when their proboscis reaches their prey, the cone snail fires a poison-coated harpoon designed to paralyze its target,

allow

ing the peaceful predators to reach their dinner by snail's pace Fortunately, humans don't. It's not on the menu for these snails, but that doesn't mean a bite from these guys can't be dangerous. The discharges of the smaller cone snail species are as painful as a bee sting, but the sting of some larger fish-eating species such as the geographic cone snail can be fatal to humans.

This particular cone snail has even earned the nickname cigarette snail, not because it smokes or has a persistent cough, but it earned this name because, when bitten by this creature, humans will only have time to smoke a single cigarette. Before they die, these guys don't play with the geographical cone snail found in the reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It has a venom made up of a complex cocktail that contains hundreds of different toxins. In the most severe cases, the bite can cause weakness and sweating. which is soon followed by muscle paralysis and respiratory failure; if left untreated, the victim can die in just one hour;

In fact, the venom of a cone snail is believed to have the potential to kill up to 700 people, to make matters worse. The venom of this snail has prevented scientists from developing an effective antidote. I think we've found our next Bond villain vampire fish. The slimy, eel-like body of the sea lamprey. It may be enough to make your stomach twist, but if that bothers you. Wait until you see the inside of their mouth, although they may look like something out of an alien horror movie, these curious creatures are actually scary looking fish. The sea lamprey's mouth is not only designed to give humans restless nights.

The sucker to malvate these fish is equipped with hundreds of these small teeth to burrow into the flesh of the prey, once trapped in these parasitic predators, it then makes use of its horrendously specialized tongue, it is equipped with a piston-shaped tooth which allows the sea worm to make a hole in its fishy prey. They just don't get the chills after piercing the skin with their tongue. Sea lampreys secrete a mucus to prevent the host's blood from clotting. This allows them to slurp up as much of the red substance as possible. No wonder they unfortunately have the fearsome nickname of vampire fish.

Many fish that host these fleshy feeders are likely to die from blood loss or infection caused by open wounds. Fortunately, vampire fish also do not tend to attack humans, they are adapted to feasting on cold-blooded fish and not warm-blooded fish. Blood mammals like us, that doesn't mean attacks

never

happen. Some swimmers have said they were attacked by up to seven lampreys at a time, while the bite alone is not likely to cause humans any significant blood loss that tongue wounds might. life-threatening infections, however, not everyone got the memo about the danger of sea lampreys. Former British monarch King Henry I is rumored to have died after eating too many vampire fish.

I have a hard time looking at these things, much less eating them, you know what? You'll never get tired of watching all my amazing videos, just make sure to hit the like and subscribe buttons below and you'll be able to enjoy a wide range of quality content. I'm done great, let's get back to this horrible thing. Well, lampreys aren't the prettiest fish to look at, they look like a dream compared to the nightmare fuel that is the hagfish. These eel-like fish have no jaws or bones and come with four hearts. As those features sound disturbing, none of them will surprise you. as well as its mouth attached to the tongue-shaped projection of the hagfish there are four sets of sharp tooth-like structures made of keratin just like cats now I know where stranger things were inspired for the demogorgon when it comes time to give itself Feasting on prey like dead fish, hagfishes put these monstrous mouths to work, shooting out their tongues and gathering their moths to secure their food before retracting their tongues into their mouths to crush their food, if that weren't bad enough. metal, they are also known to bury.

They first stick their mouths into fish carcasses before gnawing a deep tunnel into the rotting flesh to eat their dinner from the inside out because hagfishes generally eat dead or dying marine life, they are no real threat to very living humans, At least if they are seriously injured. or a deceased person was lying at the bottom of the sea, make no mistake, these guys would have no problem tearing them apart from the inside out, the cookie cutter killer now don't get too comfortable yet because the ocean nightmares don't end there, the adorable name The cookie cutter shark may sound sweet, but don't let that fool you, this sea monster has earned its name not by being a brilliant baker but by ripping cookie-sized chunks of meat from its prey despite which only reaches up to 20 inches long.

Hunters feast on anything they can find in their mouths, including the rubber sonar domes of submarines. Most sharks have basa heils, which are basically tongues made of cartilage. They are usually immobile. and quite useless, but not cookie cutters, rather they have a frightening use of their tongue as these strange fish latch onto their prey, sink their pointy teeth and then set their sights on their catch thanks to their strong tongues that are attached and further strengthened by the very powerful throat muscles. The scary sharks use the amazing suction power. of their tongues to literally suck out a plug of flesh, then swirl around the incision to slurp up the flesh of their prey.

It is not beautiful by nature. If the fish is lucky enough to survive the attack, it will be left with a distinctive plug forever. A cookie cutter hole in its side, like a cookie cutter shark tattoo, now because these predators hunt at night in deep water. Encounters with humans in deep water are rare; However, in 2009, Mike Spalding was one of the unlucky ones after he was attacked by a cookie cutter shark while swimming at night off the coast of Hawaii. While swimming towards a friend's kayak, the shark sucked on his leg. he. Spalding was rushed to the hospital and eventually recovered, that's not to say the incident didn't literally scar him, that's reason enough for me.

Never go swimming at night. The raccoons are sorry with their big eyes and their little bandit masks. Raccoons are very cute animals, except when they rummage through people's trash, but did you know that the tongue of these mischievous mammals contains a deadly bacteria that is responsible for up to 55,000 human deaths each year? Rabies is found in animal saliva. all over the world, including dogs, monkeys, bats, and, you guessed it, raccoons. In the US alone, a staggering 30 percent of wild raccoons are reported to have rabies and all it takes for transmission is a human has an open wound lit by a rabid raccoon.

Initial signs of infection occur during The first months of contamination these symptoms include fever and headache however, as the virus spreads, the symptoms eventually worsen the infection causes inflammation of the brain and central nervous system this can lead the patient to experience muscle spasms and difficulty breathing. breathe, as strange as it may seem, there are even cases of humans with rabies who develop a fear of water. This strange side effect known as hydrophobia is triggered by inflammation in the brain that impairs cognition. necessary to swallow and causes many rabies patients to foam at the mouth, even in careintensively, survival is almost unheard of once symptoms have occurred, not all hope is lost, although the US government has been distributing oral rabies vaccines for raccoons since 1997 with the goal of making Raccoons will be rabies-free by 2053, so it's only another 30 years until we can all approach a raccoon without fear of turning into a foaming, gasping corpse.

The foreign salamander Link holds the title in the animal kingdom for the most powerful language. I think it would be. something big and ferocious like a wolf or a tiger, but surprisingly the top tongue in the business belongs to the Central American giant salamander. This incredible amphibian can stick out its tongue about two and a half inches, which may not be impressive for a human, but that is more than half the body length of the giant palm salamander which is like a full-grown man sticking out his tongue. tongue over 31 inches. That is a strange image. Its long reach is one thing, but the speed of the giant palm salamander's tongue is what sets it apart from the rest.

The guys can stick out the entire length of their tongue in just seven milliseconds, without giving their prey any chance to escape. If you're wondering, that's about 50 times faster than the average blink. It's like a magic trick. One second the insect is living its life. then it disappears into the air or rather into the salamander's mouth, as expected, this speed requires a large amount of energy. These fleshy crossbows exert eighteen thousand watts of power per kilogram of muscle to contrast when a human runs, they produce around 2,000 watts of energy, so this little salamander launches its prey with the energy of about nine humans running those insects do not have no chance Scientists believe they have discovered the science behind these bullet tongues unlike typical tongues that simply protrude from the giant salamander mouth.

The tongues quickly come out of the mouth using a ballistic projection, effectively the tongue comes out of the mouth like an arrow from a bow that is a great weapon to keep inside your mouth. Fortunately, there are no cases of humans getting hit by a giant palm. salamander tongue, but I imagine that being launched by a tongue that travels at about the speed of a bullet would definitely hurt the brutal foreign birds. Despite their elegant appearance, geese are loud and aggressive animals that will stop at nothing to protect their young. See the horrors that these birds keep inside their mouths like all birds.

Geese are not equipped with a set of teeth to help them chew and crumble their food. Instead, these waterfowl are armed with hundreds of small Tomia in their beaks, although these can act as teeth. They are made of cartilage, not enamel, but Tomia not only lines their beaks, this pointed cartilage also lines the sides of their tongues, making their fleshy mouth parts hard and sharp, helping them tear apart foods like seeds, vegetation and even small fish, fortunately, humans. aren't on the menu for these boisterous birds, but that doesn't stop them from attacking anyone who gets in their way and with those sharp rows of Tomia lining their beak and tongue, even a lick from one of these waterfowl is sure to leave its mark. . mark and, like geese, penguins have a mouth specially adapted to cope with their lack of teeth, a penguin's tongue is packed with sharp bristles made of keratin, these backward-facing quills help them swallow their food of live and whole fish without it escaping.

These animals can be seen from outside. Penguin tongues truly are the stuff of nightmares. Getting a lick from one of these would probably be harmless, but a bite, the force of a penguin's beak squeezing your skin with the added pressure of those devilish little quills, is safe. to cause a deep cut, who knew these birds could be such a hideous paku fish? You would be forgiven for mistaking the paku fish for a piranha at first glance, that is, until they open their mouths, if you thought piranha teeth were scary, just wait until you see the set of creepy teeth that pacus possess, these Omnivorous fish typically found in South America, they are equipped with a disturbingly humanistic mouth complete with a set of straight, square teeth and a flat tongue, their thick molars designed to grind seeds and nuts that fall into rivers from trees. and it is rumored that they are not the only type of nuts that these fearsome fish consume.

In 2013 reports spread that this fish feeds on human testicles, fortunately for any man, scientists have said that is highly unlikely. Just because these fish actually bite balls, that doesn't mean they can't be dangerous to humans; However, in 2004, a little girl discovered that firsthand, after dangling her hand in a paku tank, one of the tropical fish sank its teeth into her finger. The crushing bite was so severe that she needed plastic surgery to repair the wound. Just remember that if an animal has a human mouth, never put your hand or anything near it. The tongue is as scary as this fish's teeth can get.

Look, there's something even scarier hidden inside this animal's mouth instead of a tongue. This unfortunate capture has what appears to be an extraterrestrial mass and as crazy as it may seem, it is not far from the truth. This fish has what is called a tongue eater. louse hidden between its jaws there are no prizes for guessing what this bug does to its victims these organisms are known as protandrous hermaphrodites this means that all tongue-eating parasites are born male, but when they are adults the males can become females when they are juveniles, these parasites found throughout the Atlantic Ocean enter an annoying fish through its gills, eventually one of the males becomes a female and that is when the horror story begins, the female gets into the fish's mouth and attaches to the host's tongue, once on board it cuts the blood vessels of the tongue, causing it to fall off without fleshy muscle to feed on, one might assume that this parasite would swim away in search of a new victim, but not after Once the tongue has fallen off, the female Laos will reattach and become the fish's new tongue.

What you have to do then is sit back, enjoy the ride and help yourself to the free meals. Well, that's not all they do. Females can also mate with male lice inside the fish's mouth, and despite all the traumatic events they have to go through, scientists believe the fish. They continue to use the parasite as if it were a prosthetic tongue, not that they have much choice in the matter, since it sounds demonic, we don't need to worry too much about this parasite, tongue-eating Laos is not said to be harmful to Still , humans can never be too far from those petrifying parasites, if only for their sanity.

When most people think of worms, they imagine harmless invertebrates living underground, but that's not the case for all worms—take the ribbon worm, for example—not just most. Of these species live in the sea, but some of them are also incredibly dangerous even to humans when capturing their prey. To capture prey or deter predators like a species of sea-dwelling Spider-Man, several species of ribbon worms are armed with a stylet at the tip of their proboscis. This worm is not only a sharp dagger, but it is also poisonous when the worms stab their prey. Deadly toxins enter victim's body In 1998, scientists in Japan discovered that a species of tapeworm contained extreme levels of toxicity.

Currently, mouse units are often used to quantify toxicity, with one mouse unit being the amount of toxin needed to kill a standard 20-gram mouse in 15 minutes, the cephalothrics species simula was found to retain about six one thousand units of tetrototoxin or mouse TTX, if you're wondering, that's a lot considering it only takes 10,000 units of mouse TTX to eliminate human TTX binding to internal membranes. Cells in the body called sodium channels interfere with the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles. This stops the body's ability to control nerve impulses to perform actions such as contracting muscles when consumed even in small quantities.

TTX can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and paralysis of muscles, including the heart muscles. which can cause respiratory arrest. Yes, I think it's safe to say that these worms are pretty deadly. Fortunately, there have not been any cases of a human being falling victim to one of these worrying worms, but I highly recommend that you stay away from them anyway. Mo and definitely don't get that spaghetti booger shot into your hand, if only because of how gross it looks. Lingual lure. The alligator snapping turtle found in the US is a fearsome predator. It can weigh up to 200 pounds.

It is equipped with spiked armor. shell and has one of the most forceful bites in the animal kingdom, but its deadliest weapon of all is its tongue at first glance. The little pink tongue seems pretty useless; However, to catch its prey, this turtle lies against the river bed keeping its body still. The only movement he makes is the twisting movement of his tongue, mistaking this lure for a juicy worm. The snapping turtle's prey will unknowingly swim into the reptile's mouth before being devoured, and I mean devoured. The alligator snapping turtle has a bite force of around 1,000 Psi Psi. or pound Force per square inch is the measure of the pressure of a force exerted on a square inch of space, as you would expect, the higher the PSI, the more painful the bite and it turns out that the alligator snapping turtle has a very painful bite, in fact the PSI of their bite applies around 10 times more pressure compared to when a human bites if that wasn't scary enough, these voracious reptiles are also equipped with a crushing bone beak designed to tear apart anything that comes close to your mouth, sounds like a good reason for animals. to stay away from these prehistoric-looking predators, but apparently some people just don't listen In 2018, researchers were stunned after finding something strange inside the stomach of an alligator snapping turtle;

It was not the usual prey of these animals, but a human finger. Sounds like someone was stupid enough to get too close to the turtle's worm tongue Mr. Snappy, forget about the wolf in sheep's clothing, it should be an alligator snapping turtle in worm clothing and I'll, uh, take care of it From that, what animal would you choose? At least I like getting licked, let me know in the comments below and thanks for watching, thanks.
