Zombie ant fungus

[Bandito]

Where is your God now? :)

Scientists have discovered the existence of 4 separate species of what is coined "zombie fungus" in rainforests in Brazil. This zombie fungus overhauls the brains of the ants it uses as its host, and controls them in such a way as to force them to leave their colonies, and to relocate somewhere that is better suited for the fungus to survive before the fungus actually kills them.

Creepy is an understatement. I saw the video and I scratched half the skin off my arm! I had to stop the video when I saw the fungus sprout from it's head. Al through on a tangent it was cool to see a crab get swarmed.

Just watch when this fungi evolves to the point that it can control human bodies or scientists develop that fungi.

I'm definitely stock-piling weapons and building a bunker for when the zombie apocalypse happens.
