  1. Mate I have a healing barnacle cut on my leg from it being on a metal pipe while I swam…..well I guess I’m toast
    (Just jokes it’s healing goodly I’m sure I’ll be alright peace)

  2. Had it happenyears ago whilst cleaning the bottom of a fishing vessel i worked on cut up my arm after falling my arm went really swollen and infected had months of treatment along debriding . Wasn't what he had but was bad

  3. I ❤ videos of people scraping off barnacles from sea turtles but am REALLY aware when people do this with bare handed because of scratches and infestation of barnacles!! 😮😮

  4. Learning that about barnacles reminded me of keelhauling it’s an old sailor punishment from Greek times up until around 1600s typically for murder. It was relatively rare, but they would drag the guilty person under the keel of the ship which would be covered in barnacles.

  5. A strong wave hit me and I accidentally cut my palm with the barnacles on the stone wall I was grabbing on, I was taught to always disinfect a cut so I was fine I guess but didn't know this would happen.

    Thank you Jacob for this information .
