Grey whales have learned to approach whale-watching boats to have parasites removed by human beings, it has been claimed.
Video footage documenting the behaviour in the Ojo de Liebre lagoon, off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, shows a grey whale having whale lice picked off its head by the captain of a small boat. “I have done it repeatedly with the same whale and others,” Paco Jimenez Franco told a US news site. “It is very exciting for me.”

No! Definitely not!

You go on holidays to interesting places so I'm wondering if you have had a chance to pull parasites of a whale or other large sea mammal.

Not yet. Was almost going to Baja California next Easter and I'd have looked out for whale watching but the destination got swapped to Jalisco county.
