A video showing a worm-like creature wriggling on a man’s hand before it spits out a web of white root-like tentacles that crawl and pulse all over the man's hand has gone viral on social media, leaving in its wake viewer comments that mostly express utter disgust.
Uploaded by Thai Facebook user Sutthipong Sonthidech on May 2, who jokingly refers to the creature as an "alien worm", the video was recorded using a mobile phone camera. It's unclear as to who shot the video, when it was taken, or whose hand received the ick-inducing web of white tendrils ejected from what looks like its mouth.
