It starts with a spore. Then it takes the body. Then it takes the mind. This is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis—the real-life parasite that turns ants into "Zombies."

We think Zombies are fiction. In the insect world, they are a terrifying reality. In this documentary, we analyze the complete infection cycle: from the initial spore contact to the "Death Grip" bite, and finally, the gruesome explosion of the fruiting body from the victim's skull.

Scientists used to think this couldn't happen to complex mammals. New research suggests the gap is closing.
