Ew, I'm scared!  Come on, it's 25 mm (~1 inch) long.  I've had booggers that were both bigger and scarier looking.

I don't care how small it is. It's nasty looking.

So you're saying that maybe it wasn't a booger I found.  Hmm, that might explain a few things.

Geez now this sucker takes the cake, I don't care how nasty that squid looks.
Thanks ST.... :smt087

"This fish is feared to attack humans and swim into an orifice (the vagina, anus, or even the penis—and deep into the urethra).[5] Because of spines protruding from the fish, it is almost impossible to remove except through surgery.[8] The fish locates its host by following a water flow to its source and thus urinating while bathing increases the chance of a candirú homing in on a human urethra. Natives have also been known to bathe facing the current, as doing so would decrease the chances of the organism lodging itself in the rectum."
