Zombie ants, insidious stream and amoeba, devouring the brain

Reddit users remember the most terrible things on Earth

The Reddit user with the nickname Skeletrondota asked the question : "Which of the most terrible things in the world?" And received 20 thousand answers. Commentators called diseases, natural phenomena and even hippos. "Medusa" has chosen several truly terrible options.

Cordyceps

Sharrrp: “A deadly fungus that controls the mind. He infects only ants, but this fungus came out straight from horror films. Infected ants climb as high as possible, and then compress their jaws [hold on to the sheet]. After that, a stalk grows from their heads and releases disputes that infect other ants. ”

TEEMUSSALAMI: “Even worse, as we recently found out, that the fungus does not“ zombie ”the insect - on the contrary, the insect remains“ in consciousness ”. The fungus breaks its nervous system to intercept management. [A game about zombie-apocalypse] The Last of US would be much worse if you killed people in consciousness. ”

Intranar -income awakening

RuprectGern: “You go to the operation. You are paralyzed, but conscious during the whole procedure. You can’t scream, move or somehow show that you are “stuck”.

Sweetalkersweetalker: “My mother has this. There is something in her brain (or something is missing), because of which general anesthesia does not act on it, although the local acts. [During the operation] she cannot move, does not feel anything, but she is conscious and understands what is happening to her. According to her, it was worst during the eye operation, because she saw how the needles entered and came out of her open eye. "

Serial killers

Mudra311: “According to the FBI, right now about 25-30 active serial killers live in the United States. It can be your colleague, friend, neighbor, waiter or that friendly elderly man living alone. You are unlikely to find out about this until you find yourself in the “type” of the victim. ”

Hippopotamus

MaxForce2869: “They weigh about two tons and accelerate to 30 kilometers per hour. Their bite can easily kill, and they are extremely jealous of their territory. Every year, more people die from hippos than from lions, wolves, elephants and sharks taken together. ”

Amoebas devouring the brain

Depechealamode: “Definitely terrifying! I swam in a rather unpleasant backwater (River Colorado). <...> A week after returning from there, we found that a girl died a few days before our trip there because of the devouring brain of Amoeba. If you think about it, the water was disgusting, and we should not swim in it at all, but the beer and the girls make you make nonsense. ”

PersonDude27: “The fact is that the amoebas devouring the brain (Negleria Fowler) are needed, certain conditions are needed to eat your brain:

• They live only in very warm water-about 24-26 degrees,
• prefer standing water,
• There should hardly be salt and chlorine in the water.

But the most important thing - and, apparently, the reason why you have not eaten your brain - you need to drag the water with your nose to become infected. They devour the brain through a perforated plate , tissue in the upper part of your nose.

The girl you mentioned died because she rode water skiing. This is a good way to get water in the nose. ”

Stinging wood

RedditAppsucksdongs: "If in short, the horses, touching it, are dumped from the rock from pain."

Murrgalicious: “I was biting! I walked along the mountains on a magnetic island off the coast of Australia. He stepped over the stone and felt pain. I thought I was bitten by a spider or something like that-one of the strongest pain in life. Even worse than the case when I torn the bunch at the elbow, tearing off a piece of bone. The burn was sick for three months, and for another year, when I wet it. ”

Sleepy paralysis

TRUNKS111: “You cannot move, but something is scouring something in your room, your heart beats rapidly, and you cannot understand what is happening.”

Ostryy5: “I have sleepy paralysis, and often instead of a mysterious creature I see something that is trying to kill me.

Imagine. You wake up and see a giant wolf standing on your chest. He grimaces on your face. You want to shout and push him away from yourself, but you cannot move any muscle. You cannot make a sound. You are absolutely helpless in front of a revived nightmare, ready to stick your teeth into your face. All that remains for you is to look at him and be horrified. After a long 15 seconds, the opportunity to move is suddenly returned to you, but the wolf disappears without a trace. You understand that he was not real. We must continue to sleep and prepare for the next productive day. This is what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. "

Bold Bolton Stirid

Idunnofuckoff: “A small stream in Yorkshire, which is actually a river, [the course of which has passed from a wide channel to narrow but deep]. In total, a meter or two width, it looks like a calm stream, but if you fall into it, you will drag you under the water and shine into powder on the stones. 100% of people who tried to jump over him and fell into the water died. ”

Yellouston Supervulcan

Unknown1776: “If it explodes, a third of North America will immediately become uninhabited, and the rest will have to be evacuated. Also, due to the eruption throughout the planet, a volcanic winter will come for several years. ”

Ocean

Lancetheyordle: “Whatever it is, it lives in the ocean. Deep in the ocean. "

VLAXX98: "Ocean and the ocean at night."

Prions

Arcadiaplanitia: “In fact, these are spoiled proteins that begin to spoil other proteins, this type of molecular zombies. If you have a disease caused by bastards, it will slowly destroy your brain, damaging critical proteins.

There is no medicine from the disease, and it can hide for years. Disinfectants and other methods of killing viruses, parasites and bacteria do not harm prions in any way.

Perhaps the worst illness caused by amuits is a fatal family insomnia. You can’t sleep anymore. You have insomnia, which is constantly progressing-and at some point you simply cannot fall asleep more. This condition causes nonsense, hallucinations and death. ”

Sarger_81: “As far as I remember, even if doctors introduce the patient with fatal family insomnia into an artificial one, his body will go into a coma, but the brain will continue to function as before.”

Meteorite

Clintman: “Our planet, billions of years of life, which we know it, the whole history of mankind can be accidentally destroyed by a stone flying in space. And we can’t do anything about it. ”

Kandira

SLAPMUHFRO: "A small fish that [supposedly] can swim into your urethra."

Huge spider

Ficklefailbulimia: "That recent post" This thing crawled out during the repair "."

“Sun, sit down. We need to talk "

WickedCircuits: “Nothing good follows this. Nothing".
