Re: Zombie fungus real. Infects ants and insects in Brazil (no joke)
There's also a parasite who's ideal breeding environment is cats stomach however it has an easier time finding it's way into rats. What this parasite does is infect the rats mind and turn off the part of the brain responsible for exercising caution. So instead of receiving messages from the brain that keep rats and mice alive like avoiding cats, staying in the dark, sticking to corners, etc it becomes encouraged to do otherwise increasing its likelihood of getting attacked and eaten by a cat.
Here's where I first heard about it. Quote:
