Strange parasite turns male crab into female! By controlling the mind and body, they make a babysitter

You must have heard about crows and cuckoo. The cuckoo does not make its own nest, but lays its eggs in the crow’s nest. There are many living beings who give birth to their children with the help of other living beings. But there is also a parasite which is so strange that it makes another organism the midwife of its children! The most surprising thing is that by changing the sex of another organism (Body snatching parasite turns male crab into females) it controls their mind and body.

According to the reports of Audity Central and The Conversation website, there is a parasite named Sacculina carcini which is said to snatch the body of another organism. The reason for this is that this organism makes the bodies of crabs (Parasites make crab castrate) its own and by controlling them like zombies, makes them the midwife of its children. Let us tell you how it controls.

control the body
First of all, it detects crabs with its special sense. Then it sticks on them. It sticks to the underside of the crab’s hairs and by inserting its hands like plant roots inside the crab, releases a parasite into the crab’s blood that starts controlling the crab’s mind and body. They change the sex of crabs. Make them female from male and in this way these parasites attached to crab give birth to their children.

How do you harm humans?
Male and female crabs keep the eggs of this creature tied in a pouch from their stomach. Research has found that due to these parasites, ovaries develop in male crabs and many female traits are produced inside them. Let us tell you that humans are also at risk from the sacculina parasite. This danger does not happen directly. Rather it happens in such a way that due to their attack, the crabs change their sex or become unable to give birth to their children, due to which their population decreases and humans are not able to eat them again.
