Fungus infected Real Life Zombies

if you are bored to read it just look the video and you got your answers

Do you like zombies? 


Pretty right? 

We all know what zombies are and look like from the thousand movies and series we have watched with the current most known one be the Walking Dead with 8 seasons i think. As far as i can tell it's basic knowledge that zombies is a work of fiction and don't exist, even a little child knows that but what if i tell you they exist and live among us? (but not in the way you all imagine).

What exactly are those zombies, give me more info i want desperately to know!

I want to be straightforward with you, if you expect zombies like the ones you are used to then go watch walking dead instead. Our zombies for today are different type of insects from bees to ants and as we all know we need to blame someone for this state. It's not a virus that spread out or a polluted bite whatsoever, the main suspect or suspects if i may add are Parasites and more particular Fungus Parasite!

Did you expected that?  

1. If the answer is no prepare to get amazed by what's next!  Imagine you are beautiful bee and it's about your feed time or even better this day is the day of your life cause you are ready to find you other half and mate. The similarity in both feeding and eating is that is happening on a flower. By now you are a happy bee that mind it's own business and living the dream of freedom. you see from above a nice flower and you say "i am digging, free food'',  you use your jaw to flower and that was it, GAMER OVER. You are now infected and cant take your jaw from the flower it's like it's locked in it and after a few minutes you are dead.........

To make the matters worst after the bee is dead her wings start to open mimicking her previous appearance when she was alive. Now to completely destroy you and make you realize how gruesome nature is, remember what i told you before about mating? it had a hidden purpose behind which is that now the zombie bees attract live bees to have sex with!

2. I am sure you want more so another zombie parasite story has as protagonist the ants. Imagine once again being a worker ant that wants the best for your queen and your friends. Everyday you work without pay and rest and just this day you check a flower and you think ''why not''.  The same thing as with the bee happens again and your jaw is locked on the leaf-flower and then my friend a small flower growing inside you and popping out of your head with many spores around it. Wanna make the matters worst AGAIN? Those spores guided by the air probably they will fall close to your friends as the ants when they are out searching follow a trail and are near them, so prepare for most of your friends zombiefication!

What the parasites earn and what we out of this?

The parasites earn something that is both basic and of outmost value to everyone and that is the gift of life. They need the live organism to feed cause they are full of nutrient elements and to evolve in order for example to made the spores that will give life to the parasite once again.

For humans except the fact that the extra knowledge of what's next to you and what exist in Earth is valuable probably if they get to understand the process better they can use some elements of it to cure diseases. For example if we can control the bodies as the parasites then sudden moves during an accident or a operation would be close to 0. 

Another usage would be if a zombie like infection take place we will have a better understanding and even find a cure faster. On the other hand it can be used to harm people, imagine someone to completely manipulate you for his own benefits, that's something really terrifying but wherever there is light there is dark too!

Great post,nature can be so cruel at times.
Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the comment and resteem i really appreciate it

that fungus growing out of the ant's head reminded me of Alien (the film).
i was actually watching your video while eating my salad :D
it was a struggle

hahaha imagine your face if you found an ant on your fresh salad! From what i read many movies and games inspired by this phenomenon

i would probably die from fear :D

and then i would feel guilty :P

then there's also toxoplasma gondii, which is known to infect mice and have them be attracted to cats so they get eaten. humans get infected by it too strangely.

wow i didnt knew this! that's why i like so much blogging and interacting with others, i learn new things that i am interested in both from my research and from the comments! i will go now to search for toxoplasma gondii, i wanna check if it's easy to cure it on humans. Thanks for your comment!

i don't think there's a cure you're stuck with liking cats forever i think.
