These Worms Turn Snails Into Disco Zombies

No, this snail isn't ready to rave. It couldn't be any more from the truth. It has been turned into a zombie by a mind-controlling parasite. And there's no other way to put this. It's pulsating inside the tentacles of the unfortunate snail. This is the green-banded broodsac.

    Nature can be disturbing at times but the insect world is an exponential kind of horror

    Hey, it’s great to be human! Not once today have I worried about worms zombifying my eyestalks. You gotta be grateful for the little things…

    See here's my thought: why the hell hasn't this been adapted into any kind of post-apocalypse zombie concept yet. Would be gnarly as hell

    Every time I hear about insects I'm more and more happy to be at the top of the food chain. It truly is a privilege to be a human.

    That is both horrifying and absolutely disgusting! Also, those poor snails! They must be in so much pain when this happens 😫 😓

    Imagine how terrifying a human equivalent of this would be.

    Narrator: "These snails often tend to go to the open areas more, which is not usual behaviour"

    Imagine you’re a snail, worms take over your brain and head, a bird swoops down and rips your face off, and then you just grow a new one and go about your business like nothing happened.

    This disturbs me on a level that is so penetrating and incomprehensible, it horrified me to my very core.

    I remember seeing this kind of snail as a child in a village. It was shocking. I've told an adult: "look what is happening!" but no one actually paid attention. Then figured out what it was a few years later, reading about snail parasites.
