Not commonplace at all. It even freaked out the neurosurgeon. 😮

The snakes aren't even the half of it. You also have the salties (saltwater crocodiles), the redback spiders, the funnel web spiders, the stonefish, the box jellyfish, the Irukandji jellyfish, the blue ringed octopus, the cone shells, and the sharks. And that's not even getting started on the plants. But come and visit, mate! It's a great place. 🇦🇺

You know I had Australia on my bucket list. After the past few Dadbod Veteran posts, well, I may need to make a slight adjustment… 😱👏🙌💯😂

Aussie's said "Hey America hold my beer"

Saw this on the news feed this morning and my first thought was “And now this! 2023 is outdoing itself.”

You're up, Florida man.

Taking it to the next level😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻The competition got too real!🫣🫣😂😂

I'm beyond disturbed. This is going to leave a scar.

What’s funny is I used to live in Arizona for well more than 20 years, then I moved to Florida where I’ve been for about 12 years. Prior to both, I lived in Louisiana, and trust me, the crazy there can easily rival Florida and Arizona. The Florida and Arizona entries into this competition seemed kinda tame to me. Australia won this in a way that only Australia could. There’s no competing with that, although I’m sure that “Florida Man” will certainly try.

Years ago a friend of my brother was taking a trip to Africa. I told my brother when he comes home keep an eye on him to see if he starts only making left or right turns because it would mean he had a brain worm that causes Turning sickness. I don't know if it infects people but it is a thing for African plains herbivores like wildebeest and zebras. Maybe it's jumped to humans in Australia.

We have a belief here in Australia 🇦🇺, if your going to do something weird, then do it right from the word go ! We have to make it enjoyable for all our tourist that come over, don’t want to be a plain boring country without some interesting memories ! 😂 😂

"And the worms ate into his brain..." *drilling sounds* Roger waters and david gilmour were totally on top of this

Snakes? How about the spiders? LOL I was born and raised in rural eastern Australia. Lots of spiders and snakes. Now I live in California and was so happy to catch a little garden snake for the young boy that lived next door so he could keep in his empty aquarium. He thought it was so cool that the old lady (55) was able to do that and didn’t yell and run away.

So happy I'm eating dinner when I decided to watch this video!!! Yay😊

So this happened in my city, I feel for the doctor, that has been traumatised by all of this.

😮😮😮😮😮 I don't have words for what I am feeling about this.

Saw this on the BBC. The ewwwww factor is astronomical 🤮

Ah, Australia. The Continent that actively tries to kill in new and creative ways.....

And the worms are into her brain.... Pink Floyd

That was the woke mind worm. Nothing to worry about. Common sense and reason can remove such dangerous ideas.

If you visit, the only extra things in your brain will be a love of our country, and an appreciation for real coffee.

Its apparently a worm mostly found in snakes and the person infected used to harvest the grasses in the area the snakes lived to consume. Its bonkers

Gosh you make me giggle every day God bless 🤣💚

By all means, come to Australia, it's beautiful. You are most welcome, bring your family and you won't regret it. Hurry before the next plandemic/climate lockdowns/versions thereof! What's behind it, the only treachery need concern ourselves with, anywhere on the planet.

There’s a book of true medical stories written by an Infectious Disease doctor called “The Woman With the Worm in Her Head”. In her case, she was a school teacher who had stroke-like symptoms. She lived in the US but I think had traveled to either S. America or Mexico. Turned out that her symptoms were caused by a tape worm egg sack that somehow got in her brain. The story became the basis for an episode of the TV show “House”.

Mr Dadbod I’m 62 and I’ve never heard of that happening here at all. Freaked me out too. Has to be out of the ordinary circumstances attached to it. Come on down to visit here. I doubt you’ll regret it.

First time ever but they anticipate more in future. The worm is from snake feces and the woman forages plants often. Snake poo on the mushrooms.

Did you hear about the testing for a new diabetes treatment? Hookworms 😂😂😂

The only extra you will return with in your brain is some extra “I’m never drinking again!” lol. My guess is this woman had been to Indonesia or Bali and brought a hitchhiker back with her, I have heard of that quite a bit actually.

Yeah... I decided some years ago that any plans, however small, I had of a trip to Australia was postponed indefinitely.

Always wanted to visit Australia 🌏🦘 but fear of flying & pets kept me in USA 🇺🇲. Now I'm glad I didn't go & hope these critters exist nowhere else BUT Australia!😬🤘

Australia is awsome place to visit,lived in proserpine QLD for a few years,small town, good folks there abouts. Yes Australia can be dangerous wildlife wise but that really only happens if you go about trying to pet,poke,feed or touch them and pay attention to the "Don't do" signs.

As an arizonan, thats a loss im happy to take bro

Johnny Bravo scream

Great, now everyone will want one, darn it

Worms, shworms. We have puddle gators in Florida. Florida rule 1. ANY body of water big enough to hold an alligator, has a non-zero percent chance of containing an alligator.

Well, Florida is locally sourcing leprosy and dunge fever right now

The good old Aussie brain snake 🐍 😂

I’m in Central Florida, how’s your weather ?

I've been wondering about those headaches that I've been having. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺🇺🇸

I guess that's one reason why they made it a prison colony but the Aussie must be doing something right because they still managed to live happily and at least up Intel resent they were a chill people.

Well, that explains our drivers then...

😏🦘🇦🇺Just wait till you meet my friend, New Zealand.🇳🇿🐲😲

Not common but rare. I wouldn't worry about that. Just check your shoes and bags before packing etc.

This is the reason certain meats can only be eaten safely well done like bear meat. Best just to make a great pot roast. Though this could have come from drinking bad water too!

I mean we have a lot of cancer in Australia, so you might come back with something growing in your skull. In terms of that worm, it's very rare to have a worm growing inside your skull.

Brain worms. I’ve suspected as much!

Nope ropes inside the brain? That's big, huge, giant, neon NOPE! Nope, no, no, no no, nope!!

There are some nasty little buggers that can be found in still bodies of fresh water - amoebic meningitis is a typical example. Back in the good times, we as children, were taught to hold our noses clenched with our fingers if ever jumping into non chlorinated water (sea water was fine but you had other things to be concerned with in that environment). Anyhow, please do come down under and visit. I'd buy you a pint if you're in my city. 🍺👍

it could happen to you if you're a chat and don't wash foraged food thoroughly, so you only need to worry if the chat/ slob gene is dominant in your bloodline.

When was RFK jr down under

No, what is freaky but, is that just mear days ago there was the small python on the roof. And apparently the brain worm comes from python poo 💩. Feaky or just plain coincidence, that is for you decide. From Australia😂

brain worms? wasn't that an old horror movie?

I hear a tinfoil hat does wonders for prevention 😂

I knew you’d have something to say about this!! 😂😂

How it get there?

Pink Floyd's lyrics are just supposed to metaphors.

How big was the worm that they removed from JFK Jr's. brain?

They found a yeerk

Ok. That happening in Balder's Gate 3 is one thing, but for that to happen in real life is a whole other thing entirely.

Australia......showoffs😆😆😆

It's been seen with tapeworm before

Told ya

One of RFK's little buddies?

🙄😳 checkmate ♟️

If I can survive here for my 42 years on earth anyone can. And that worm was from a python apparently F*ck knows how it got in her brain though. Quite ODD.

YEAH A strong HELL NO to Australia for me! Sorry Australia 🇦🇺 but no thanks.

Was America’s response RFK Jr?

Wow just another of MANY reasons why I do not ever want to go there!

Pink Floyd predicted it... think back to the lyrics, you know them....."and the worms dig into their brains"

If I makes you feel better Australia 🌏🦘 I do not believe has Rabies. I know New Zealand doesn't either!😁💖🤘

As RFK Jr about the fossilized worm in his brain from a trip to Asia

Yikes...brain snakes.

More reasons not to visit Australia! 😮

There's a reason that Australia is on the very small list of places I'm never going -.- As lovely as it might be, it's not lovely enough to outweigh the fact that everything there(with the possible exception of the humans) wants to kill you.

ROFLMDFHO

They are just cheating now. 🙄

Must have been a leftist 🤣

My dad was from Mexico he had two. It comes from contaminated pork meat

I'm hearing Pink Floyd's "Hey You" right now. Anyone else?
