Are jungo worms real

Yes, jungo worms are real; they are a type of parasitic worm known as the horsehair worm or Gordian worm. These worms typically infect insects, particularly grasshoppers and crickets, manipulating their behavior to seek water, where the adult worms emerge to reproduce. While the term "jungo worm" may not be widely recognized, it likely refers to these fascinating creatures observed in various ecosystems.
