So if you were to submerge yourself would you die or would you just be a natural human again? Your dads body was already damaged when he was submerged.

It's probable that like some symbiotic relationships in nature the body must have him in order to survive now. It's totally dependent on him now. I wonder if maybe his species damages or destroys cognitive function in the hosts brain so it can take over that job instead? If that's the case without the symbiote the body would just be a vegetable.

Are you sure you would die or is that just what the parasite told you? Seems to me that it doesn't really have any reason at all to be honest with you in regards to its own survival.

What if you use saline solutions to flush out your ears?
