I think parasites that prey on humans sorta belong in their own category. ordinary bedbugs and ticks scare me way more than any fancy egg-backed toads or tongue-eating crabs. at a distance, even the most monstrous animals can seem almost cute, but the moment a living thing burrows into my body, it shuts off the part of my brain that goes "awwwwwwwwww."

OK so somehow while looking for more ideas for this thread I just wound up looking at tons of pics of Peruvian guinea pig meals. They serve the suckers up whole legs and tails and all! O_O

have had this, in peru! there's not a lot of meat. you can eat the toenails like unpopped corn kernels.

I am surprised at the revulsion for the coconut crab - it seems to be pretty firmly planted on the good side of the arthropod divide

I have eaten more guinea pigs than I can remember now after seven months in Peru. Better than rabbit, not as good as chicken. lots of dark meat and little bones.

coconut crabs: i like them i just shudder to think about how if given the opportunity they would surely open up a baby's skull and casually help themselves to the brains

What is the fish that looks a lot like the viperfish but has giant, almost opaque eyeballs that are a solid milky white? And kind of a more elongated head? I had a picture book as a kid with a giant full page photo of two of their faces and it was the "scare yourself by turning to it" page for sure.

Dayo then you may very well also be trypophobic! LOL if you GIS trypophobia that frog is one the first things that comes up. IT'S SO FUCKING AWFUL. Lotus breast image is one of the most revolting things ever imo.

^^^ already on here @ #4 but deserves reiterating: lamprey eels will fuck you up
also i saw someone mention loa loa & filarial worms are FUCKED UP (google @ yr own risk) but ill rep for roundworms specifically Ascaris lumbricoides:
http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/round-worms.jpg
Ascaris lumbricoides is the giant roundworm of human, belonging to the phylum Nematoda. It is an ascarid nematode responsible for the disease ascariasis in human. It is the largest and most common parasitic worm in humans. A quarter of human population is estimated to be infected by this parasite. Ascariasis is prevalent worldwide and more so in tropical and subtropical countries.
It can reach a length of up to 35 cm
