00:05 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:06 I'm your Kuya Kim, who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:10 They can still see you, Kiki, but what if the small insects
00:15 enter our eyes, like what a group of hikers
00:19 who climbed a mountain in Camarines Sur said.
00:21 It was said that a group of hikers climbed Mount Isarog in Camarines Sur,
00:29 but they were already down when one of his companions noticed something.
00:33 He realized that there was something black moving in his eyes.
00:37 His eyes were pierced by a living insect,
00:40 or if you call it, a lymatic.
00:42 We're used to lymatic bites.
00:45 Removing the lymatic is difficult.
00:47 We decided to try to remove it, but he let go.
00:50 The lymatic's body is slippery.
00:52 How did the group remove the lymatic?
00:56 Kuya Kim, why did you remove the lymatic?
01:00 Kuya Kim, come on!
01:02 When we are bitten by a lymatic,
01:04 it removes our blood to eat.
01:06 These animals are hematophagous,
01:08 or animals that eat blood to survive.
01:11 Lymatics are a kind of worm.
01:14 They are close to the birth of earthworms or worms.
01:17 Lymatics are different because they have 10 eyes, 6 hearts, and 32 brains.
01:22 And that's why they are so close to lymatics
01:24 because they have 3 jaws.
01:26 And each of these has 100 teeth that are attached to our skin.
01:29 They left a mark that looks like a letter Y
01:33 because of their 3 jaws.
01:36 But since no one is choosing the lymatic,
01:38 what should we do if it enters our eyes?
01:41 It's better not to force it.
01:44 Remove the lymatic.
01:45 What you can do is wash the lymatic,
01:48 clean the water, and then patch it first.
01:51 Then observe for allergic reaction.
01:54 Meanwhile, Raquette's group is preparing the lymatic from Chino's eyes to...
01:59 Okay.
01:59 So far, he's not saying that he has problems with his eyes.
02:02 Some are afraid of being bitten by lymatics.
02:04 Do you know how many of these are the reason why they are attached to the body?
02:07 Because there are beneficial things in our body.
02:10 In the past, there were several species of lymatics used in herudotherapy,
02:19 or medicinal leech therapy.
02:21 This is one of the herudo medicinalis or European medicinal leech
02:25 that is considered by Guinness World Record as the most beneficial parasite for humans.
02:30 In 1991, a group of surgeons used medicinal leech
02:34 so that a patient's blood won't clot while operating his anus or scalp.
02:39 But remember, not all lymatic have medical benefits,
02:43 so don't attach it to our body.
02:46 Meanwhile, for the "Malaban ng Trivia,"
02:48 at the back of the viral news, tweet or comment #KuyaKim
02:51 Remember, it's important to know.
02:54 I'm Kuya Kim and I'll answer you 24/7.
