41 years on the earth and never heard of sand piranhas. KZfaq keeps making me feel like I’m not from this planet. 😂

I've been bitten by these before swimming. It was not fun. We stayed out of the water the rest of the day. I ate a whole bag of cheese doodles that day.

FOR THOSE WONDERING WHAT THESE ARE ! They are a type of isopods (called Excirolana chiltoni) they live usually under the sand but they come out in hallow water or when the tide goes out, a few wont hurt you and they feel like miscuto bites, but they swarm fast and bite hard,just rinseing them off helps like he did, unless your sitting in them then you might have a patch of skin missing by the time you sit back up Sadly they are needed cause they eat the dead fish in the water {which is the sea doesn't stink like dead fish} {this is copy pasted from my own comment, from his first video about these}

Thanks for sacrificing your hand for the science and knowledge, Jacob. Also, hope for your hand recovery too.

I've done some research, and they are called Water-line isopods (Excirolana chiltoni) and they eat flesh, as seen in the video.

Jacob is becoming Great Value Coyote Peterson

Bro let his intrusive thoughts win💀💀

Those are in Newport harbor in Southern California. There’s multi million dollar homes on the water and they can’t even swim there lol

Had to look it up: "Tiny, flesh-eating bugs known as Excirolana chiltoni that travel in swarms of up to 1,000 are wreaking havoc along California's coastline The isopods live in the sand and usually feast on dead fish, but they're not picky eaters and have been known to attack humans" -dailymail

In Germany we say: Dumm, dümmer, am dümmsten. 😂

I have never heard of them, they are tiny but terrifying! 😮

Bro is a Masochist

Sand piranhas are the fire ants of the ocean

Never heard of sand piranhas are they only in certain areas? Are they in all ocean waters

Yes, those hurt. But where did you think it was a good idea to stick your hand in front of them?

Gosh you didn’t have to suffer like that. lol. Feel better soon

Plot twist: it was his fault

New fear unlocked

I hope it heals soon❤

I thought you were joking the whole time

Imagine getting in the ocean water and all of a sudden you see 500 of them attaching to your body?

He is our new Coyote Peterson

Kudos for making sure to knock them back off in the water. I have never heard of these but now I need to go take a look!

It’s been like 10 years seeing a video stuck upright

This was pretty funny 😂😂😂

bro needs a sub for sacrificing his hands 💀

Aw man, I hope you’re alright dude! 😮

Definitely NOT going skinny dipping there!

next time I'm at the beach I'll check the water 😨

You pulled a coyote Peterson and let some eat your arm and bleed like crazy.

I've never had to deal w these as I live on the east coast & had no idea they even existed! 😱

That one time God let Satan cook…

I'm almost 61 and I grew up on the east coast in Myrtle Beach South Carolina and I have never had to deal with those thanks be to God

Why would you stick your hand in in the first place?

Bro dipped his hand into water to clear off sin promise in water with more sand piranhas

This is once again another KZfaq video which makes me point out why tf I can’t get in the same water I fish in

Interesting, we don't have those things out in the water at Gulf shores Alabama and the water temperature right now is 84.2°. Sigh.

No, Colvin... Don't tell you've given into the clickbait.

What is the scientific name for "Sand Piranhas"?

Dude, WTF!!! But I do love to see Jigsaw use these little guys in one of his traps. lol

Oh hey another reason to be afraid of the ocean sweet

How to avoid these? Going on a cruise and I definitely don’t want this to be me

Jacob actually just does this for content? Like why are you sacrificing your hand?

It was just like getting bit by ants

But what are they actually called? Brine fleas? Brine shrimp?

Imagine biting them back 💀

I fucking love Isopods. If I have the oppourtunity I will also provide a blood sacrifice to them as you have in this vid. In the ancient Permian before the Dinosaurs were distant dream, they RULED the sea bottom, the reefs, the shelf, G bless.

Are these sand piranhas only in the south or the north too?

When you swim to far in half-life 2

I never knew...now I do.

I have been bitten I thought they were tiny fish so I got in with them 😅

This is my new defence when someone breaks in

Can we get a F in my replys for this mans hands?

how do i recognise and avoid these things?

Are they in the ocean? Like how can you swim if they are in the water? Or are they in still waters or something?

How to prevent from being bitten while at the beach or how to treat if accidentally being bitten? Couldn't find any of this info online. 😑😑😑

Bro literally needs to go to the doctor

There viscous little bugs, but you did that to your self no sympathy... I would have got a texture and started joining the dots to make pictures ❤❤❤

So basically he submerged the hand but the bites were all over his forearm? How does it work? 🤣

We always called these sand fleas growing up on the Maine/New Hampshire coastline...

OK, so you weren’t attacked by Sam piranhas

So basically the movie where the beach eats you has basis in reality? F**king awesome. Here I was afraid of sharks smfh 🤦🏼‍♂️

Well I guess they have to eat too.

That’s why when I was at the beach and I got bitten by those and it was not fun at all I literally stayed home for a whole week and never went back and that whole week I stayed I ate chicken wings chicken noodle soup and Turkey from thanksgiving and 9 others bc I was so hungry for some reason I thought it was from the piranhas

That’s a bad idea when you put your hand on saying piranha

They look like sand piggys

Your palm seems fine

Jake, you'd better stick with your shrimpy babies😊

That’s a whole lot of NOPE

Ignore ❌ Let them eat your skin ✅

Bro How did you get that boat in your video 😂😂😂😂.

WHAT IS A SAND PIRANHAS!?!?!

Thanks for sacrificing your arm for a good video 😅

kids don't do this BUT HE STILL FU#$# DOES IT

I have never watched your videos before

You've ruined my motivation to go to a beach

So sad to see you get injured. Are you okay? 😮

What the hell is that?? What if you're swimming at the beach??? Is that dangerous??

The Things People Do To Prove Their Imbeciles

i’m not gonna do that ever!!!

that’s worse thing ever sand piranhas. (AHHHHHHHH IT HURTS SO MUCH AHHHHHHH)

I’ve gotten bit by one in Greece. It was a long time ago, so I was swimming with some of my friends. I went back to shore with my mom. I looked at my arm by where my bathing suit step was me not want it I think like it was like 20

I have gotten bitten by those begore and why, i was swimming and i saw the sand pirhannas swimming after me and i was so scared!

The problem is when one of those goes for your testicles, I do not recommend it. Trust me, I talk from experience

When going to the Bach on holiday I swap far put on my boogie board but unfortunately fell of to meet these things the only thing I came backup from the water and sand piranhas to see was my self in hospital

Where is this

I like your video's

I have had this happen before those are the worst

I hope you don't catch something that Clorox won't remove Jacob. Thanks much~~~Sherry
