Dead bug bath?

I am sore from jogging yesterday so I took out my bag of bath salts and took a nice bath.

There were random flower leaves here and there, picked from the Canadian Rockies. I poured in half a bag, which seemed like enough, and I settled in. 

The bath felt good. 

And then I saw something attached to my leg. 

At first I thought it was nothing. There were seeds and leaves, so this was normal. But I looked closer because it's normal to be suspicious about random bath salts. 

It appeared to be a tiny dead worm. 

I screamed and drained the bath, then set the bug/worm thing on the sink and checked my body for dead worms. None. I checked the leaves and seeds for dead bugs. None. 

So I got back into my clothes and went to show my mom the dead worm. I looked at it under a microscope--it had a head and a typical belly, with spikes all over it, typical grub crap. 

That is a dead worm thing. No crap, y'all. 

It's like those worm salts from the bathhouse in Spirited Away when Lin said to Chihiro that they were supposed to be good for you. So maybe the worm/bug was intentional and I'm just getting super healthy. If so, that's great. No more zero-carb diets, plus those things are already dead anyway.
