I bumped into this article recently and it blew my mind. Apparently there are fungi in Brazil that have the capability of turning ants into zombies.
What happens is that once the spores enter the ant and grow as shown in the picture they lose complete control of there body.
OK.....but this is the where it gets wierd.
Instead giving the ants some form of "Mad Ant Disease" where they stray incoherently, apparently the fungi takes control of its body and gives it orders. Once they make the ant walk to the best place for the fungi to flourish (right kind of shade, breeze, plants, etc...) it is killed "soprano style". WHAT???
So by snatching over the body of the ant the fungi now was able to "PICK" the best place for it and "ORDER" an insect (which I thought was superior in the evolutionary scale), and "GO" without ressistance to a nice place where it will "KILL IT". Does this sound strange to anyone or do I need to enclose more words in quotation marks?
But seriously, there is something very wrong HAPPENING (don't watch the movie trailer below). When I was Minister of Environment in Panama we made an alliance with the Smithsonian STRI in order to build a laboratory for the whole region in order to study the fungi killing complete sets of species of frogs (http://tinyurl.com/r3j3tv) at an outstanding speed.
During this work scientists confided in me that they had evidence that the fungi would not only affect frogs but could affect animals and even humans.
Still think that the premise of the movie "The Happening" was bogus?? Think again!!
