Saw it on sunrise this morning. I have been bitten before but didn't know they could do that!

OMFG I've never seen this ever, to do that damage I would think you need to leave your feet in the water for hours or days ?

I can't open the video I'm at work does it show the "Lice" creatures ?

He was in waist deep water, but only bitten around the feet and ankles apparently.
