Your Body Hosts Alien Invaders: Your skin, gut, and mouth are crawling with trillions of microbes—bacteria, fungi, and even viruses—that outnumber your cells. Some are friendly, but others, like Staphylococcus aureus, can turn nasty and cause infections. It’s like your body’s a haunted house for tiny critters you can’t even see!

Zombie Fungus Controls Brains: There’s a fungus called Ophiocordyceps that infects ants, hijacks their brains, and makes them climb plants before sprouting out of their heads to spread spores. It’s like a real-life zombie apocalypse for bugs, and scientists wonder if similar fungi could ever mess with bigger creatures.
