What's interesting about this parasite is that it doesn't actually enter the brain. It's not mind control, it's muscle control - which is even more tragic, as you'll see and feel yourself attacking your loved ones, but you can't do anything about it.

The fungus would have to adjust it's special neurons to humans in order to make this possible. Otherwise if the nervous system would get infected it would twitch randomly before dying again.

[@Wize_Manings]

We would be fine, Our bodies are too warm for the cordyceps to affect us. However this could be possible with global warming causing the cordyceps to adapt to the warmth. So in a few hundred years it could be possible for humans to start having symptoms of the cordyceps infection. If you want to know how this could affect the world, play: The last of us

[@Ry3n590]

The Last of Us universe explores this concept amazingly.

[@rzwitdauncut]

yup. my favorite part of the last of us was bills town. thats my favorite part if the game. seeing the sunset, the peaceful street. it just reminded me that even through all the slicing, bloodshed, and the. chasing, the world can still be peaceful sometimes.

[@mustafa-os9vj]

It doesn't affect humans. Only insects, snails and the smallest birds in the world

[@TitanJonkler]

After you die you become a runner with a fruiting body Then weeks later you started to avoid sunlight and become a stalker that uses ambush tactics Then months later you’re essentially blind and became a clicker which uses sounds to hunt your prey down Then a year later you become a heavily armoured beast known as a bloater Then a few months later you become a shambler where you could release spores to infect your prey Then a few years later, you have become an ultimate monstrocity of different cordyceps zombies mixed together: *The Rat King*

When ants do it it usually commands them to find a leaf, eat some of it, and then it dies. The fungus then sprouts from its head

For those of you who don’t know, there’s a fungus that flies eat that first start with eating their brains. The flies will then start climbing to the highest place they can find, for example: a stop sign. Then by when they get to the top, they die, fall, and spread more fungus.

It cant attack humans because what it does is replacing the ant's (or other artropode's) fabrics for the funguses since both species cell walls have something called kitine. We dont so we couldnt be affected. I read about this fungus just last week, what a coincidence lol!

[@perfectsniper09]

2 main factors why humans are currently not able to get infected is because our immune systems are too strong at this. But the biggest is that our body temperatures are too warm for them to even survive. That being said, there have been some recent studies showing some fungi have begun to adapt to warmer weather Now there is over 1,000 variants of cordyceps viruses. Most of them specifically target particular insects. I wouldn't be surprised if some are among the that adapted a bit to the ongoing climate change

"one more short before bed" the short:

[@staktion]

The cordyceps fungi found in 1818 in france is actually not dangerous YET to the human body and its not able to get control over us. I repeat, YET. For symbioze and multiplying in the human body, this fungi needs to travel in the air at 35-37 celsius degrees. This fungi has 3 principal targets: the brain (consumes parts of the brain, this occuring in abnormal functionality, i mean crazyness and losing the control of your mind, actions and emotions). Next are the principal organs, because consuming (or symbiotizing) them results on more energy for the cordyceps fungi, accelerating its lifecycle. The last target is the skin. It has lots of nutrients and, if the fungi gets over it, it will multiply way easier by the way of the air, this occuring in faster multiplying and attacking other creatures. And, as a bonus, it can evoluate to live in other conditions. For example, it could multiply by the way of the air at lower degrees, at normal ones. Think about it, check it if you want.
