woody mentioned behavioral changes in insects earlier that got me thinking of the way a parasite in ants can alter the ants brain function and make the ant climb up a long grass stem where it waits to be eaten by a grazing mammal,allowing the parasite to breed in the mammal who excretes infected poo which is eaten by snails which eject slime with parasite eggs in it. the ants seem to like it,apparently.

my point is. Could parasitic mind control,where a bacterior ,virus or parasite, chemically alter brain function of a host for its own benefit, be a factor in woody's insect migration.
And by extension,could it be a factor in OUR relationship with augie? [link to everything2.com]


just thinkig out loud,soz.

You think that is what happened to Woodie?
Oh, Woodie was the one who pointed it out.
