, taking over the ant’s body and controlling its actions. The fungus forces the ant to move to a wet, humid spot on a leaf right before it dies – the perfect environment for Cordyceps to grow and spread.In the show, the Cordyceps fungus starts infecting humans in a very similar way. It starts in Jakarta, Indonesia, taking over human bodies instead of ants, transforming them into ultra-violent zombielike creatures.
“Cordyceps is not adapted to grow at our internal body temperature, nor is it able to contend with our immune system … It would take many thousands of years of evolution for it to overcome this,” Rebecca Drummond, an associate professor in immunology and immunotherapy at England’s University of Birmingham, wrote forAnd the bit about our warming world making a genetic mutation possible? That's not quite the case.
'So should society be prepping for a fungal-pandemic apocalypse? Probably not.' At your peril...
'And the bit about our warming world making a genetic mutation possible? That's not quite the case. However, scientists do say that we’re starting to see different kinds of fungi in places where we normally wouldn’t.' Anyone got any other conflicting statements?
Love the show AND the game. It does make you stop and think 🤔🤨. . .
Well, vegetables will grow nicely with higher temps! 😋
