Tierney knows all about how to survive a zombie attack. She read a book and even did a talk show about key points on what works and does not work. I'm glad she lives here to keep us safe in the event of an attack. Now scientists in Texas have developed a way to turn fire ants into zombies. A parasitic fly lands on them and turns the ant into a zombie whose heads fall off. Here is how it works. The flies lay eggs on the fire ants and the eggs hatch into maggots inside the ant. The maggot eats the fire ants brain then whoops, the ants head falls off. This is where it gets creepy. When there is no brain left in the ant, the ant just starts wandering around like a zombie. In a month, the ant's head falls off. I'm freaking out over this. What happens when these flies mutate and start attacking bigger creatures? First mice, then squirrels and finally, Chorkies. I don't want to be a Zombie. That does explain why Chip acts like she does. She must be in the process of having the maggots eat her brain because she is constantly wandering around aimlessly. Yikes, I hope I'm not the one who finds her head on the floor.
