Mind-Control Parasites

<p>One of my favorite video games when I was younger, was<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_4" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">&nbsp;Resident Evil 4</a>. It presents a story about a special agent named<a href="https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Leon_Scott_Kennedy" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">&nbsp;Leon Kennedy</a>, who looked to rescue the US president&rsquo;s daughter from a sect that wanted to infect her with mind-control parasites called &ldquo;<a href="https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Las_Plagas#:~:text=Las%20Plagas%20are%20a%20breed,the%20Spanish%20word%20for%20plague." rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong><em>las plagas</em></strong></a>&rdquo;.</p> <p>One thing that I most enjoyed about this video game was that players could find&nbsp;<a href="https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Luis%27_Memo" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">research notes</a>&nbsp;from a biologist (<a href="https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Luis_Sera" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Luis Sera</a>) who compared &ldquo;l<em>as plagas</em>&rdquo; with real-life parasites.</p> <p>At that time, I realized that&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Capcom</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>took care to include some aspects of real pathogens to create their fictional parasites.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/new-writers-welcome/mind-control-parasites-dcb060d92a50"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
