I know them. They are the angry sea monkeys I flushed down the toilet when our family had to move to another city. I understand their need for revenge. I am so sorry.
I once saw a video where a scientist put a dead chicken in a cage and left it in a shallow area overnight. By morning there wasn't very much left because of this type of critter. Really interesting. I wish I could remember where I watched it. Probably somewhere here on TH-cam.
I took a marine biology class at Grossmont College and I've never looked at the ocean in the same way. When you get out of the ocean and feel all crusty it isn't just because of the salt. Ocean water is filled with small organisms and microorganisms that are alive as well as dead and also includes eggs, feces and so on. I still go into the ocean but I try not to think about it.
When I had a boat at Dana Marine, I occasionally put on diving equipment to go under the boat and clean the bottom. Anywhere my skin was exposed i got bites. That was 30 years ago.
Mission bay is man made so it doesn't have the benefit of the natural cleansing action other bays have. Some say it is a very polluted body of water although we never had any health problems or critters biting us there.
Very little water circulation n that part of the bay. Perhaps the level of dead stuff required adding something to consume it? I wouldn’t swim in that part of the bay!
I’m from the Caribbean and I was at a few beaches and at neck height water with huge waves I got bitten but thankfully it was after like 1 hour of being in the water 😂
Karen... They bit me I don't like them can we get rid of those atrocious things... No Karen their for the eco system n you were not bleeding to death calm down

Every horror story has an origin.
Lady was like, I was bleeding out. … Guy was like there totally harmless I’ve been bit thousands of times lol
SAND FLEAS......Yup they exist
Sand fleas don't bite. They even showed you what they are in this 2 minute video.
@@KB-nt7eg lol exactly, and sand fleas are much larger I believe
@@hippoge7987 sand crabs are larger, these are sand fleas. They aren't proper scientific names, just simple white man names.
Apparently someone didn't watch the video

Very cool comment. I hope the video pops up in my recommendations.
In Chesapeake bay in Maryland you might get some blue crabs in the cage.
@@charleshoang7687 Yum. 😋
I used to get bit by those in Mission Bay when I was a kid
The movie, The Bay, pretends to be a found footage PSA project raising awareness of deadly isopods, a horror movie.

Try the Great Lakes! Fresh water. Yeah, Michigan.
"you're an adult?" jesus, you made it sound like blood was dripping from your feet......... then you showed the lil fella that did the damage.😂😂😂
Dude, they actually can get your skin bloddy, there is a video of a dude putting his arm for 60 seconds and his arm got bloddy

Giant isopods don’t bite but the little ones do
Dip a hotdog on a string in to the water and it will be covered in no time with these things.

It might be man made but it used to be a swamp/marsh like all the little lagoons on the I-5 corridor.
Those critters aren't man made genius.
@@bobwoods1302 Reading comprehension? No one said they were man made.
Who the hell knows, probably something to start a new pandemic I'm sure
I'm in Florida and we don't get this.
