I just learned about this one on Friday. Crap I forgot the genus and species name now. It is a nematode found in wild canids, like coyotes and foxes, and the eggs are expelled in the "dogs" feces. Well if you are out like searching for baby foxes or something (which I do regularly in the summer)and you inhale some dry feces that has eggs in it, then the eggs will hatch in your lungs and the roundworms will "eat" their way out of your lungs into your stomach and then into your intestine. The thing is, after they eat through your lungs your already dead! Talk about painful.
