Sacculina spinalis is a bizarre parasitic barnacle that targets almost all vertebrates, including humans.
When the larva pierces the skin near the spine, it loses most identifiable organs, becoming a network of root-like threads that grows to envelop the spinal cord.
When its brood pouch is mature, it guides its host to seek water where it can release its larvae. The mechanisms for this influence are thought to be a combination of direct movements of the spine and electrical signals sent to the spinal cord.
