Real-life Zombie Cockroaches
This sounds like something out of a science fiction novel but scientists recently discovered a species of wasp that zombifies cockroaches. Once stung, the cockroach looses it’s free will and the wasp will actually lead the slaved cockroach to its nest were it will be eaten by larvae. Gross stuff but fascinating at the same time. The wasp uses a chemical that blocks certain chemical receptors in the brain. If this is possible in insects, could human zombies be far behind?
