Okay, so after watching #TheLastOfUS on #HBO, I wondered if #SciFi#zombies (basically a virus, bacteria, etcetera, cause craziness & not a living dead scenario) could occur in humans.
According to #science, the answer is yes. At the 10:15 mark of this video mentions a parasitic protozoan that replaces mammels fear of #cats with a love for cats (or at least their scent.

I guess this explains why #Caterday is so popular online (regardless of the social platform used).
Although it usually infects mice 🐁, this parasite can affect humans as well, as it wants us to be eaten by cats (even big cats like lions). From #ScienceFiction to science fact. Crazy if you ask me!

in reply to Darnell Clayton :verified: • • •The microbiologist Merlin Sheldrake has a brilliant chapter about this in his book "Entangled Life", where he expands the zombie comparison and explores the idea that we all may already be 'infected' with fungi that control certain behaviours.
