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

It has to be small cause it is going to crawl up your nose and eat your brains!!!!!

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.

"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."

Hey you found grandpa's dentures!
