The recent terrifying spate of ‘cannibal attacks’ seems to have spread to China, as a drunk bus driver was caught on camera gnawing at a woman’s face in a horrific random attack.

The unfortunate woman will apparently require plastic surgery to repair the damage done by her crazed attacker.

According to local news reports, the driver, named Dong, had been drinking heavily during lunch with his friends before the outburst on Tuesday.

He then ran on to the road in the city of Wenzhou, in south-east China, and stood in front of the car being driven by a woman named Du, stopping her from moving.

Dong climbed on the car’s hood and started beating the vehicle while the panicked woman screamed for help.

When she left the car and tried to escape, the bus driver leaped on top of her and wrestled her to the ground.

It was then that Dong started biting Du’s face, leaving her covered in blood and weeping as passers-by tried to pull the attacker off his victim.

Witnesses said that the bus driver had gone ‘crazy’ and was successfully resisting attempts to subdue him.

When police arrived, they managed to take Dong into custody, bringing the appalling rampage to an end.

Du was taken to hospital, where doctors said she would need surgery to repair her nose and lips.

The incident comes in the wake of a number of similar attacks committed by drugged-up psychopaths in the U.S.

Perhaps the best-known of these came in May, when Rudy Eugene chewed a homeless man’s face off before being shot dead by police.

Ant vs. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis

National Geographic

Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is a parasitic fungus that infects carpenter ants in the tropical rainforest canopy of Thailand. Once infection is initiated, the fungus alters chemicals in the ant’s body to affect the brain and change behavior. The ant travels to an ideal spot (in this case, under a leaf) for reproduction of the fungus, bites down onto a vein of the leaf, and dies. After the ant’s death, the spores of the fungus continue to securely attach to the leaf, releasing antimicrobials to ward off any competition. At its reproductive maturation, the fungus sprouts from the ant’s head, and releases spores to be picked up by other ants, and the cycle continues.

Caterpillar vs. Baculovirus

wikipedia.org

A newly discovered strain of baculovirus infects the caterpillar by making the host climb up a tree after being infected, and promptly die. Other genes in the virus then make the caterpillar melt. This melting drips to the floor, where it then infects other caterpillars.

Caterpillar vs. The Glyptapanteles Wasp

wikipedia.org

The Glyptapanteles wasp lays its eggs inside inchworm caterpillars. The larvae feed on the caterpillar’s body fluids. Once grown, they exit the caterpillar and cocoon themselves to a leaf. Effectively by this point, the caterpillar is in a zombie-like state. It ceases to search for food, as its sole goal is to guard the wasp cocoon until the larvae reach adulthood. The caterpillar then dies.

Myrmica Ants vs Mountain Alcon Blue

wikipedia.org

When the Mountain Alcon Blue Caterpillar is ready to make its transition to a butterfly, it leaves the leafy tree tops and moves to the forest floor. It then proceeds to secrete ant-like chemicals. Worker ants treat the caterpillar as a queen ant, carrying the caterpillar to their den to feed and nurture it. Another fascinating mystery about this host: it mimics the queen’s sound as well.

Crab vs. Sacculina  carcini

wikipedia.org

Sacculina Cracini is a barnacle. Female larvae float around until coming in contact with a host crab, to which attaches itself at a strategically vulnerable spot on the crab’s shell. The barnacle feeds off the crab, and the crab ceases all normal activities like mating and molting. It only feeds to bring nutrients to the parasite. When the barnacle is ready to reproduce, it mimics the crab’s brood, thus forcing the crab to assist in dispersing the eggs into the water.

Cockroach vs. Emerald cockroach wasp

scientificamerican.com

The Green Jewel Wasp injects venom into the cockroach’s brain that block octopamine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for movement and alertness. The wasp then leads the cockroach to its burrow, where she lays eggs in its body. She locks the cockroach inside by filling up the burrow afterward. The wasp larvae feed inside the cockroach until they are ready to emerge.

Snail vs. Flatworm

http://www.flickr.com/photos/34854736@N03/

The flatworm lives its life in two different hosts. Snails will first eat flatworm eggs, which hatch inside the snail and attach to its tentacles. The snail is then rendered blind, and unaware of differences in light or dark. This ideally (to the flatworm) causes the snail to be snatched by a bird. The flatworm reproduces inside the bird when the snail is eaten, and eggs are spread by the birds excretion. The process then begins again.

Grasshopper vs. Hairworm

When the hairworm infects its host, the larval worm produces proteins that chemically influence the brain and nervous system of the host. Once the larva is ready to become an adult, the grasshopper jumps into the water, and the adult hairworm exits the body to continue on to find a mate.

Killifish vs. Euhaplorchis californiensis

wikipedia.org

The parasite Euhaplorchis californiensis starts out as eggs inside of a bird, which then are released from excretion. The eggs are consumed by snails, and grow. Adults then exit the snail and navigate to the gills of the killifish. The parasite infects the brain of the fish, causing it to act in ways more vulnerable as prey to birds. Once eaten, the parasite lays its eggs inside the bird. The process then begins again.

Human vs. Toxoplasma Gondii

wikipedia.org

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease that affects warm-blooded animals such as mice and cats. It can, however, be passed to humans. Studies have shown behavioral changes in humans such as schizophrenia that were caused by Toxoplasma gondii.

Louisiana man Carl Jacquneaux, 43, allegedly attacked his neighbor, Todd Credeur, in Lafayette Parish over an undefined domestic issue, KATC reported.

“During the attack, the suspect bit a chunk of the victim’s face off,” Scott Assistant Police Chief Kert Thomas told the station.

Maybe this is when we really should panic?? I find no comfort in the mysterious events of cannibalism, weird rashes and flesh eating bacteria. There is something going around. Maybe, just the summer flu? Otherwise what the hell is causing so many people in the past 1-2 months to start eating people. I mean seriously.. There must be something in the water. I know.. In some societies this is perfectly fine from a culturally speaking standpoint. Though the last time I checked these current events were in modernized parts of the world.

“CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms),” wrote agency spokesman David Daigle in an email to The Huffington Post.

Granted, we already have enough shit to deal with like terrorist, homicide, violence, robbery, drugs, ect ect.. Now we have to start worrying about someone trying to have us as a happy meal when we go out to grab a gallon of milk?

I feel it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared. Who knows what’s in store for us, be it Zombie Apocalypse, Bacteria, Bio-weapons, end of the world??

Being undead can be disorienting. Your arms and other appendages tend to rot and fall off. It’s difficult to communicate with a vocabulary limited to moans and gurgles. And that smell! (Yes, it’s you.) But most of all, you must constantly find and ingest human brains. Braaaains!!!
