I am afraid.
Each individual picture adds more to the article, so be sure to click on them and view all the weirdness and creepiness.

Re: "Zombie" Ants Found With New Mind-Control Fungi
I saw this on some TV show a few years ago
EDIT: On a related note, does anyone else see any possible problems with this:
Flies that control ants
I'm pretty sure they have tried this type of thing before and it tends to just replace one problem with another. But, w/e, I guess. It IS a cool idea, when you consider the other agents they want to deliver with the flies.

Well, they also talk about new variants the found that control other insects.
The fact it can spread through little points it creates on the ant or "explodes" toward things to spread to others is really frightening.

I really don't like the thought of something controlling something else like that.

Was just saying, we had already known it existed.
It's kinda frightening. Doesn't seem to really us that much.
BTW, cats cause car accidents!(well, kinda, in an indirect sort of way) Parasite lots of Humans get infected with. Cats are its host.

Yeah it was on Planet Earth, cool stuff.Kasrkin Seath wrote:I saw this on some TV show a few years ago
But yeah this stuff really isn't frightening. Because each species of fungus only infects one species of insect . Kinda nature's way of keeping the populations in check. They don't attack any other type of organism though.... kinda would be cool if they did.
No danger, just creepy.

I'll assume that joke was made back when this was discovered.

Besides, if it were to spread to humans( very unlikely) gasmasks and fire would cleanse it.

Re: "Zombie" Ants Found With New Mind-Control Fungi
Hell it was even talked about back in Resident Evil 4 to give you a time frame
Re: "Zombie" Ants Found With New Mind-Control Fungi
Well, like I said is that it was talking about new versions of the fungi that effects other insects while providing the majority of the stuff we already knew.

Well, if it ever broke out among bees/ants/butterflies, a lot of people would probably starve to death in the resulting famine.
