I'm gonna geek out for a second, if you don't mind.

我要稍微 geek out 一下，如果不介意的話。

The characters, the acting, the amount of tissues I'm gonna consume as the show goes on.

裡面的角色、演技，還有接下來我會用掉多少衛生紙。

每一集都讓我的精神快要崩潰了。

See, let's talk about the mind hacking fungus that turns you into a zombie in the show.

嘿，我們來聊聊那個讓你看起來像 zombie 的 mind hacking fungus 吧。

But don't worry, there's no way that's real, right?

不過別擔心，那種東西不可能真的存在，對吧？

Bob burned the house down on purpose this time.

This zombie fungus is one of over 400 species that belong to the genus Cordyceps.

這種 zombie 真菌是屬於麥角菌屬（Cordyceps）的 400 多種物種之一。

Most of these species are parasitic, targeting insects, taking over their bodies and eventually killing them all in the name of reproduction.

這些物種大多是寄生的，會鎖定昆蟲，佔據牠們的身體，最後為了繁殖而將牠們全部殺死。

One of the most studied species is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which infects carpenter ants.

其中一種被廣泛研究的物種是單齒節蟲（Ophiocordyceps unilateralis），它會感染木匠蟻。

When the spores of this fungus make contact with a carpenter ant, they attach and grow throughout its body, draining it of its nutrients and eventually taking control over its muscles.

當這種真菌的孢子接觸到木匠蟻時，它們會附著並在螞蟻體內生長，吸取牠的養分，最終控制牠的肌肉。

The fungus makes the ant leave the nest, climb onto a leaf and bite down hard.

這種真菌會讓螞蟻離開巢穴，爬到一片葉子上並用力咬住。

The fungus then devours the ant and sprouts growths that burst and release more spores.

接著真菌會吞噬螞蟻，並長出孢子團，爆開後釋放出更多孢子。

The process takes anywhere from four days to two weeks.

這個過程大約需要四天到兩週的時間。

While this may look like mind control, studies have found that the fungus never penetrates the brain.

雖然這看起來像是 mind control，但研究發現真菌從未滲透到大腦。

Instead, it controls the body by forming networks, encircling the muscles and invading the muscle fibers.

相反地，它透過形成網絡來控制身體，包圍肌肉並侵入肌纖維。

Scientists believe the fungus then secretes chemicals that make the muscles contract.

科學家認為，這種真菌接著會分泌化學物質，讓肌肉收縮。

And while the parts of the brain that control movement of these body parts dies off, the rest of the brains remain intact, at least until the ant itself dies.

雖然控制這些身體部位運動的大腦部分會死亡，但大腦的其餘部分會保持完整，至少直到螞蟻死亡為止。

This could mean that the ant is alive and aware of what's happening as it's being physically manipulated.

這可能意味著這隻螞蟻還活著，並且知道發生了什麼事，因為牠的身體正被操控著。

Kind of makes you feel bad for beheading all those clickers.

這樣想起來，對之前砍光那些點擊者（clickers）有點過意不去。

And as actual zombie fungus experts have explained, there's no current Cordyceps species capable of infecting humans or any other mammal.

而且就像真正的殭屍真菌專家解釋的那樣，目前沒有任何一種「蟲草」能感染人類或其他哺乳動物。

And if one did somehow evolve to do so, they most likely wouldn't be sophisticated enough to control your body.

而且就算真的演化出能感染的，牠們很可能也沒有足夠的智慧來控制你的身體。

In fact, humans have actually been ingesting one Cordyceps species for centuries in order to gain a variety of health benefits.

事實上，人類幾個世紀以來一直在攝取一種「蟲草」，來獲得各種健康益處。

Sinensis and it grows from the caterpillar of the Hippiolus moth.

牠從「西藏蝙蝠蛾」的幼蟲身上長出來。

It's a traditional Tibetan and Chinese herb and it's used to treat everything from colds to kidney disorders to to cancer.

它是一種傳統的藏藥和中藥，可以用來治療從感冒、腎臟疾病到癌症等各種疾病。

While some preliminary research has shown promising results, there haven't been many human studies, so more evidence is still needed to truly know its effectiveness.

雖然一些初步研究顯示出有潛力的結果，但還沒有太多人體研究，所以還需要更多證據來真正瞭解它的效果。

Nevertheless, the Ophiocordyceps sinensis market is really competitive.

不過，冬蟲夏草的市場競爭非常激烈。

If you want to buy the real thing, it will cost you over $20,000 per kilogram.

如果你想買真的，一公斤要價超過兩萬美元。

So now don't worry, you can just let the TV show an excellent video game mentally destroy you without the fear of the fungus for now.

所以現在別擔心，你可以讓電視節目播放一個很棒的電玩，讓你心靈被摧毀，暫時不用害怕這種真菌。

I will not hesitate to burn every house down.

我會毫不猶豫地燒毀每一棟房子。

So have you been watching the Last of Us show or have you played the game?

所以你有在看《The last of us》的影集，還是有玩過這款遊戲呢？

Please also tell me a video game or show you love that you would want me to make a science y video on any of them?

你有沒有什麼喜歡的電玩或影集，也想讓我做成科學影片介紹的呢？

It's not easy to stop these mushroom baddies in the games and TV show, but

在遊戲和影集裡，要阻止這些厲害的蘑菇壞蛋可不容易，

in my world I have a secret weapon to fight against all these invaders and that's using Guardio, the sponsor of today's video.
