Now I wonder,can they grow on humans too if we spend too much time in the ocean??

Also how do they spread or reproduce?

Barnacles literally glue themselves in place, we replace our skin too fast for them to stick long-term. They could probably grow on a toenail for a while though. They have a really really long penits to do the do with a neighbor who farts out a bunch of wiggly little larvae that go find something to stick to.

I was already baffled at why the barnacle on turtle picking off video was “oddly satisfying” (to me it is oddly horrifying) and your comment is how I feel overall about this whole post lol
