  This explains something I wondered about with TLOU. Many infected people were armed, and all things being equal the 9mm exit strategy is a better way to go then letting the fungus kill you. So why didn’t more people take the “World War Z” exit? 
  Its because the fungus wouldn’t let them
context: fun fact: the cordyceps fungus has been found to not touch the ant’s brain. It merely grows through the ant’s muscles and controls its whole body. Which honestly is more terrifying than if it went for the brain. >
  
  That makes The Last of Us even MORE horrifying.
  Imagine being trapped inside that body, fully conscious, as your body attacks people and rips them apart. >
  
  From the game files 
  
  Some survivors believe that the infected person's mind is still intact, but trapped in their own body, as seen by a crying runner that was distressed after attacking, killing, and eating one of her friends.[5] >
  
  Guess it's even more poignant when Ellie asks Joel if it's hard to kill Infected because they were people once.
  They might still be.
