On A Moth...


As far as I have found, this fungus does not attack humans or animals, just insects and it's purpose is clear, to prevent over population of one species... This got me thinking... Is there a fungus that could potentially do this to mammals, humans more specifically...?

I mean this is pretty scary... Infects the brain and makes the creature do strange things... Most noticeable are the ants who get infected.. So I did some searching and found some interesting information...

What is this fungus? Wiki

Is it dangerous to humans? Should we worry about this fungus and/or what our DNA specialists might do with it...? Could something of this nature be programed to work on humans? Would a military power be interested in creating such a thing, if so, no, why?

Does this fungus boost energy? What?
Fungus Makes You Faster? It might?
Extracts Information

Notice the link, www.kidzworld.com... seems weird information would be given to children or anyone for that matter... What is the purpose of a small child even knowing about this sort of thing? If it's not a threat then why even tell them... I was never told about this fungus when I was growing up.. Seems strange to me... MKUltra anyone? Super soldiers? Mind controlled people? Just throwing that out there... No proof, but never know how deep the well goes... Could be some major conspiracy and could be something to be concerned about, or it might not be...

A short video which I'm sure many have seen already, but for those who haven't, this is what the fungus does to insects... All different kinds of insects and species of insects, all specialized for each one to kill only that one... Very interesting indeed...
