Chill, they're called that because they kinda look like penises, they're not penis parasites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapulida?wprov=sfla1

Well now I'm concerned about the picture of my penis in the wiki article..

You're right. It's the Sounding Worm that is the penis parasite, not Penis Worm. Sounding Worms are aptly named because they get inside the urethra and live there, and can even cause orgasm when excited.

If that's how their dicks looked like, they need to see a doctor.
