I honestly thought they were similar to Tardigrades, only larger and more carnivorous than most of types of Tardigrades. The creatures in Thaw seem to only require a moist and nutrient rich environment, not necessarily the creature to be alive for them to use it as a nest.

[@hdufort]

I had small maggots developing in a scratch on my big toe during a trip in the Minas Gerais in Brazil. I had to cut and cauterize. However, insect parasites need air to survive, and that's also true for their larvae. By staying immediately under the skin, these larvas are not too bothered by the immune system. Plus, they get oxygen through a small opening. The idea of having insects swimming into the blood flow is not too far fetched though. In nature, water contains 4 to 12 mg/L oxygen. Human blood contains even more dissolved oxygen, 15 mg/L. So in theory, an aquatic insect would be able to survive in human blood, but the insect would need to evade the immune system, which is geared against parasites. A big issue in this movie is that the insects reproduce way too fast. It's the case in most horror movies. Viruses make people sick in seconds. Insects and small animals lay eggs which become adult in a matter of minutes. In real life, the fastest thing is bacterial infection. A bacteria can start making you sick immediately after it gets into the body, due to toxins it produces. Anything else takes more time.

bot fly's they will eat you alive so watch out for those things they are painful as hell from what I have seen of those things when they lay their eggs instead you and they hatch

Psychopath? his motivation isnt selfish, its altruistic.

If it was limited to mammals, I can see them being able to spin the "it was so deadly it killed everything before it could spread" card and make it semibelievable, but that ignores that a parasite takes much much much much longer to evolve than a strain of bacteria or virus. All in all, an interesting video and that definitely sounds like a horrific flic. Thanks for the vid! :)

[@caitlyncolvert6086]

This reminds me of an archaeology student doing a dig in Alaska a few years ago at a hunting ground.

Looks like renal failure to me(though I'm wrong and have been corrected). For Jayne and Ling in their last vomiting sessions. I.e. if can't come out through the out pipe, it'll come out the in pipe instead. Possibly the parasites have actually spread into the abdominal cavity and caused a bowl obstruction. Pretty gnarly stuff and is also a potential symptom of roundworm.

After watching so much Internet Historian it’s refreshing to see a normal Nord VPN add. Also, a bear eating a frozen mammoth kind of blows my mind. I mean, it’s not surprising at all that a carnivore/scavenger would happily eat something frozen, but that it doesn’t realize just how old it’s meal actually is is kind of weird to me. If a human discovered the mammoth they’d probably be like “holy shit! I need to tell someone about this! Who knows what we could learn by studying this ancient body!” But the best and crow just think “hongry,” I think I worded this really weirdly, but I hope you guys know what I mean.

On a hopeful note, if the parasite is that virulent yet still localized to one mammoth, maybe the reason it didn’t kill all life on earth was a microbial predator. Perhaps the parasite is highly succeptable to a particular virus or common bacterium that most animals had a symbiosis with.
