    So considering that the infected take months to years to progress through the stages but are still using a living human body to spread the infection, they would surely have to eat and drink right? Do you think that's the case or is the infection keeping them alive somehow? Just a thought I had watching this. Great video as always though buddy, well done! :)

      @@bigounce5892 Yes, but the infected need to survive in order for them to be alive and a threat to other people. Don't worry folks, even if the fungus was to evolve to infect humans, the infected person would die quickly, either due to the stress of having such a fungus grow inside the body or due to inadequate nutrition which will happen.

    Nice but you got one think wrong unlike the IRL cordyceps, tlous CBI seems to be more symbiotic than parasitic, ie the host isnt killed off purposely. Runners and clickers are known to hunt other animals for food. The hosts dies either by natural caused or human interaction and then the fungus sprouts outwards through the entire body.
