Could The Last of Us happen in real life? The science behind parasitic fungi infections

HBO’s adaptation of the popular video game The Last of Us has been a massive hit. Garnering praise from critics and fans, the post-apocalyptic drama about an unlikely duo’s journey through a land decimated by a fungus outbreak has broken records.

The spores make their way into the ants body and slowly begin to control it’s movements while devouring it from the inside out. Experts say that humans are immune from this terrifying ordeal as our body temperature is too high for fungi to grow.

In that one strange and violent summer, 25 people died and incidents occurred like a little girl screaming as she was 'chased by man-eating tigers', a woman sobbing over her children which were 'turned into sausages', a husband and wife chasing each other with knives, a young boy who tried to strangle his mother and much more.
