Mongolia Has Worms!

OK, so in Mongolia we have the “rare” chance of being attacked by wolves and getting Black Plague, but the Gobi Desert has another little gem in store for us as well. I like to think of it as an evil version of the more cute and cuddly Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster or Ogopogo… I give you THE MONGOLIAN DEATH WORM!.

“The local name is allghoi (or orghoi) khorkhoy, which means “blood filled intestine worm” because it is reported to look like the intestine of a cow. It is the subject of a number of extraordinary claims by Mongolian locals – such as the ability of the worm to spew forth sulfuric acid that, on contact, will turn anything it touches yellow and corroded (which would kill a human), and its purported ability to kill at a distance by means of electric discharge.” … “It is described as a bright red worm with a wide body that is 0.6-1.5 meters (2-5 feet) long.”

Sounds awesome! Jeff, you can sleep in the tent. I’ll protect the car.
