28 Days Later?

For some reason, the concept of zombies — the living dead, the undead, or whatever you’d like to call them — fascinates humanity.

Since the Spanish flu in 1918, there have been various real-life cases of encephalitis lethargica (also known as sleeping sickness). People who suffered from this began to hallucinate, entered a stupor, and became catatonic. However, if they were stimulated — with something as benign as a tap on the shoulder — they “went berserk,” I will mention that it wasn't a small outbreak, with nearly half a million people in Europe But hey, that has long been near eradicated. No Zombies right?

This may not be the case, as scientists have discovered a new fungus that feasts on human brains.The fungal meningitis pathogen, named Exserohilum Rostratum, is generally plant-eating and is equipped with a spore-launching mechanism ideal for going airborne. The fungus is not a picky eater and while it prefers grass, it will happily eat human brains.The mystery surrounding this zombie fungus - and a question baffling scientists - is how it got into three lots of injectable steroids prepared inside a laboratory (which was filthy), but also why it only got into just three lots - and not more.In an article by the Scientific American, published by the Nature journal, the authors note that the US is currently, as of 2022, experiencing a fungal meningitis outbreak that has so far killed 30 and made 419 ill.

The fungus was found growing in unopened vials of the steroid that was believed to have caused the outbreak, the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said.The fungus was able to enter the spinal fluid and then go into the brain; where the immune system has difficulty eliminating or controlling the infection. The symptoms are fatigue, lack of fine motor control, skin eruptions, jaundice, loss of speech, glazed eyes, gum recession, and sleeplessness causing nocturnal sleepwalking. And severe anemia (The need for meat…aka Flesh) In some of the fatal cases, the fungus began to grow in and overtake the brain.The deceased resembled what we would classify as a “Walking dead” extra. Emancipated, yellowed thick skin, sunken eyes and a blank stare as they bleed from all orifices, How the fungus got into the three vials is in question. Scientists think that if the facilities' air or water supplies were contaminated, more samples would be affected.

Dr Roberts, a microbiologist, hypothesized that something may have blown in from a nearby open-air sanitation center where diseased crows with superior size and no fear of humans were tested and found to carry a style of the fungus. Much like our local areas? hmmm….

Okay, so you're safe, right? You don’t take steroids, and your likelihood of seeing a man-eating crow is rare. It's been found and quarantined.Small issue was fixed

Oooh, I beg to differ, According to Peter Cummings, a neuropathologist at Boston University and an advisor to the Zombie Research Society (yes, there is such a thing) stated the latest person to succumb to the infection tied to the fungus was in January an 11yr old boy being treated for a toothache with the standard dose of amoxicillin he received from the hospital, in Eastern Canada.

In recent news August 2022, a woman in California was also admitted to the ER at UC Davis Medical Center, suffering from an attack by a “Large group of raven-looking birds, that pecked her repeatedly” She succumbed to her injuries, labeled as an “Unknown fungal infection, cerebral neurological disorder; possible Klüver–Bucy syndrome”
