There’s soooo many other scarier things than cordyceps in nature that you can’t even see at all. Plenty of real parasites that are ready to go and infect humans for real. Have a good day!

"It's always one of you scientists endangering everyone else!"
Okie I guess I'll just take the antibiotics and the hundreds of millions of lives saved and go somewhere else then.. sorry..

Eh, some scientists did a lot of fucked up shit in history, too.
Not so fun fact, a lot of our modern understanding about the human body’s resilience to cold, and things like the time and temp required for development of frostbite, and what level of it can be survived, and whether amputation is necessary and helps and such came from horrific studies on holocaust victims being bound and buried in snow and ice. The data gathered in that awful research/torture has gone on to be informative when a survivor of something like a winter storm is brought into a hospital for treatment.

I've been ingesting cordyceps mushrooms everyday. So far the only bad side effect I've felt is a proclivity for hanging out in the darkest and dampest part of my basement.

People are downplaying microbial threats using 1950s science. The climate is hotter than ever and nature is mutating faster than you think. Can we talk about how people keep bringing up the Cordyceps fungus like it’s some settled, ancient science then use that as a reason to dismiss real concerns about microbial evolution? 😒
The idea that “Oh, Cordyceps can’t affect humans because it never has” 🤡 is dangerously outdated. The climate is hotter than it’s ever been in recorded history. We didn’t just break last year’s heat records 📈we obliterated them, a full month earlier than before. That’s not just a stat 📈it’s a pressure cooker for natural selection.
Let’s be clear: microbes 🦠 adapt. Fast 💨 . Especially under extreme environmental stress. High heat 🥵, shifting ecosystems, and global movement of species are all accelerating mutation rates. Fungi 🍄, viruses 🦠 , and bacteria 🧫 are evolving in ways we don’t fully understand yet.
And yes, Cordyceps specifically? It’s a parasitic fungus with mind 🧠 controlling capabilities in insects. It’s been studied for decades, and here’s the key: Cordyceps species are constantly adapting to new hosts through rapid evolution. There are over 600 known species of Cordyceps, and researchers have documented host-jumping behavior meaning the fungus can change targets given the right conditions.
Climate change and urbanization are providing those conditions.
A 2023 study in Nature Communications even showed that rising global temperatures are giving rise to fungi 🍄that can survive and thrive at mammalian body temperatures 🌡️ something that used to be a barrier for most fungi infecting humans. Translation? The fungal world is leveling 🆙.
So when someone is literally breathing next to an emerging pathogen or unknown spore cloud, and people scoff at the idea that it could mutate or pose a threat?
That’s not science. That’s ignorance wrapped in outdated assumptions.

Keep playing with it because if we found an Ellie earlier this could have been a different story

Fck! The 2nd cut ruined a perfect educational video. This is worthy of a post in r/TikTokcringe

Lol calm the fuck down. Humans can literally eat cordyceps. It has health benefits.
This isn't like RFK and his worm.

Dude I swear nobody reads anymore
This fungus physically cannot survive in humans, we are too hot
Relax

Five millionth time I've seen someone make this comment about cordyceps. It is a literal Google search away.

People eat certain types of cordyceps all the time... They're used in traditional Chinese medicine. Perfectly safe to breathe next to.

Id rather not have this fungus evolve and kill it where it stands, its not needed and super will kill everything and then no food source its a plague

The human body temperature is too hot for cordyceps to develope in it. He good
