Oh neat, now I know Penis Worms have purple blood. And that Penis Worms exist.

My exact thoughts. Penis worm? Time to look up how to actively avoid getting any penis worms.

Chill, they're called that because they kinda look like penises, they're not penis parasites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapulida?wprov=sfla1

Well now I'm concerned about the picture of my penis in the wiki article..

You're right. It's the Sounding Worm that is the penis parasite, not Penis Worm. Sounding Worms are aptly named because they get inside the urethra and live there, and can even cause orgasm when excited.

If that's how their dicks looked like, they need to see a doctor.

They're easy to spot if you have them.

They'll appear as thin squiggly lines running underneath your skin, usually a different pigment than your natural skin tone.
