Oh come now, there are so many more interesting parasites that mess with your brain for their own benefit; Trypanosoma which messes with your sleep before slowly killing you, Naegleria fowleri that just straight up eats your brain and a host of others that do weird and wonderful things.

Look at it this way; before you were surrounded by mind controlled ants, suicidal rodents and other such horrors without even knowing it. Now you do know about them. What's that? I'm really not helping? Ok, I'll stop.

And don't forget the slow and almost certain agonising death of rabies for which we have no cure

Ah rabies, a delightful little horror that makes it so painful to swallow that victims will flinch at the mere sight of water, then drives them into a frenzied rage in an attempt to spread through bite wounds. It looks like they've developed a couple of protocols (Milwaukee and Recife Protocols) that give the victim a chance, even if mot a good one. They both involve an induced coma so that you don't attack anyone, so that's fun.

Get your vaccinations folks, running around foaming at the mouth and attacking anyone near you isn't a good way to go out.

I haven't heard of the biting in humans being as prevelant as in animals. But they certainly get more aggressive and loose control
