Nature is wild… and parasites are terrifyingly efficient. 👉 Now the good news: Humans don’t have to worry about this worm. 👉 But here’s what most

As the worm matures inside the host, it produces proteins that interfere with the insect’s central nervous system, altering its behavior. These chemical signals override the host’s instincts, driving it to find a water source
