Very disturbing watching the parasite leaving the host's body. Also, years ago I read about a very tiny parasite that gets into an ant's brain and takes over. The parasite has the ant climb onto the top of a blade of grass and had it wait there to be ingested by a cow so that the parasite can reproduce in one of the cow's stomachs.</blockquote>
