The Last of Us captivates audiences and commentators around the world, with others already claiming it as one of the best shows to be broadcast this year.

The series is based on an extremely popular PlayStation game of the same name, and some commentators have already praised it as the best video game adaptation of all time. Many fans were curious to see how the show would translate onto the screen, and which actors would play the characters they had grown to know and love.

Many people were shocked when it was revealed that the fungus that caused the apocalypse in the series, cordyceps, was not a form of glorious fiction made up in an effort to frighten viewers. In fact, the fungus that killed out the majority of the human race in the show is a real parasite that eats people's brains and converts them into zombies (inset), but it has only infected insects; unfortunately, it has only killed insects. Humans can take certain forms of cordyceps sinensis and cordyceps militaris, according to a Chinese medicine company called Eastern Philosophy, to 'improve oxygenation and sensitivity to high-intensity exercise.' It has also been shown to support the anti-aging process, improve your immune system, help your kidneys, promote healthy heart function, and even be considered a potential cancer treatment.

According to experts, the Last of Us zombie virus is real and can infect humans

The fictional fungus that has infects humanity in the upcoming HBO series 'The Last of Us' is, unfortunately, based on a true one. Cordyceps forces contaminated carpenter ants to walk to the top of a plant and clamp its jaws on the plant with a 'death grip' that will hold it until it dies. The fungus then sprouts antennae-like stalks from its victim's exoskeleton, which then spreads spores into the ground below, allowing it to infect as many insects as possible. Although the series' designers specifically mention this as the source of their pandemic, there are a slew of other parasitic fungi that plague various insects around the world. The prospect that a similar fungus growing to infect humans is 'not too far-fetched,' according to experts.
