Wajameni, nimetembelea wiki, kumbe haya mambo kweli yapo hivyo hiki kisa ni cha kweli.
Hebu someni hapa.
[h=3]Historical accounts[
edit][/h]The earliest published report on this candiru attacking human hosts comes from German biologist
C. F. P. von Martius in 1829, who actually never observed it, but was told about it by the native people of the area, Other sources also suggest that other tribes in the area used various forms of protective coverings for their genitals while bathing, though it was also suggested that these were to prevent bites from piranha. Martius also speculated that the fish were attracted by the "odor" of urine
Another report from French naturalist
Francis de Castelnau in 1855 relates an allegation by local Araguay fisherman, saying that it is dangerous to urinate in the river as the fish "springs out of the water and penetrates into the urethra by ascending the length of the liquid column."[SUP]
[9][/SUP] While Castelnau himself dismissed this claim as "absolutely preposterous," and the
fluid mechanics of such a thing occurring defy the laws of physics, it remains one of the more stubborn myths about the candiru. It has been suggested this claim evolved out of the real observation that certain species of fish in the Amazon will gather at the surface near the point where a
urine stream enters, having been attracted by the noise and agitation of the water.[SUP]

In 1836
Eduard Poeppig documented a statement by a local physician in
Pará, known only as Dr. Lacerda, who offered an eyewitness account of a case where a candiru had entered a human orifice. However, it was lodged in a native woman's vagina. He relates that the fish was extracted after external and internal application of the juice from a Xagua plant (believed to be a name for
Genipa americana).
In 1891, naturalist Paul Le Cointe provides a rare first-hand account of a candiru entering a human body, and like Lacerda's account, it involved the fish being lodged in the vaginal canal. Le Cointe actually removed the fish himself, by pushing it forward to disengage the spines, turning it around and removing it head-first.[SUP]

Gudger, in 1930, noted there have been several other cases reported wherein the fish entered the vaginal canal
It was also once thought that the fish was attracted to urine, as the candiru's primary prey emits
urea from its gills, but this was later discredited in formal experimentation.[SUP]
