Cynical I had posted on this very video on here but then the link no longer worked. Thanks for posting it. I also posted it on another board but the people on there got angry thought it was too scary. There is an important reason for having this information.

Fungus can indeed alter insect behaviour as this video demonstrates. There is a fungal aspect to Morgellons Disease. Could this be what makes insects act differently when the disease gets inside them?

Here where I live now the insects act like normal ones. In the infested home I used to live in they would make a beeline straight for me. Really strange stuff happened to me regarding insects.

Scary stuff which is hard to to tell people. The lice, the snowfleas (collumbola) , the unknown winged insect which also bit all burrowing into my scalp and the back of my neck. The fly pupa cases I shed in my first treatment baths. I once had a spider inside my back in a lesion. Scary. Not normal insect behaviour at all. I called such bugs "zombie bugs".

Take comfort viewers in knowing this fungus keeps a natural balance in the rain forest. Keeps the insect population down. Cordyceps Fungi actually has medicinal properties for humans.

Cynical thanks for bringing this topic back for discussion. I am most appreciative. Not surprisingly Morgellons Disease seems to have many extreme properties which do indeed exist in nature.

Hi LC,

I posted a link to this last year under Cindi on the second page of a thread I started.

Oomycete

Same response from a few. They both scare me. What was the response on the other board. Thing is there are forms from the same family they are using a form of this to control insects.

Relation to Cordyceps and other fungi

Beauveria bassiana is the anamorph (asexually reproducing form) of Cordyceps bassiana. The latter teleomorph (the sexually reproducing form) has been collected only in eastern Asia.[2]
The name B. bassiana has long been used to describe a complex of morphologically similar and closely related species. Rehner and Buckley [3] have shown that B. bassiana consists of many distinct lineages that should be recognized as distinct phylogenetic species.

Thing is they can cause infection in humans.
