CORDYCEPS
A few days ago i was having this conversation with diane about insects.
then i remembered this documentary i saw on TV last time about cordyceps and i thought i should share this with you all. highly recommended! hahahaha, its really cool but disturbing at the same time. this is the exact video i saw on tv.

and here are more info on it if you're interested.
we are, at the mercy of mother nature indeed. humans think they're above everything, cutting down trees, destroying habitats, killing animals etc but really, we're all going to get it from mother nature someday.

i used to only think of cordyceps as expensive chinese med but never knew that it is this cool.
"cordyceps fungus it used in china for hundreds of years to cure many ailments of the body a recent product lanched here in america using cordyceps fungus is MAXGXL interesting that the same fungus kills the insect host and cures the human"
one of the comments i saw. yep, really interesting.

and from another comment i realised that there is something similar that applies to human!

okay basically, it comes from cats and changes to behaviour include; increased risk taking, slower reactions, feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, kitten-like behaviour in women (!), and more aggressive behaviour in men.
ya, so it doesn't grow from your brain and stuff but it affects human behaviour.
