Not for the faint of heart. I recommend 'Parasite Rex', by Carl Zimmer.
Chapter eleven in Howard Ensign(wasps) Evans book, 'Life on a Little Known Planet' also interesting. Sacculina carcini,a barnacle, turns crabs into zombie crabs, nurturing eggs for S.c.
Evil place we live on. BUT, there is photography.

I cannot document this, but there may be a virus that is sexually transmitted. To this end the infection seems to cause a lessening of moral standards, therefore, proliferation of the species. I DO NOT make these things up. There is a lot of literature on this subject. Skim it. There are a large number that infect insects, and seem to force their wills on same. All with the same goal.

I became a mind altered controlled zombie due to a specific food that I had enjested. After extensive examination, my doctor told me that it was the Wedding Cake.
