Don't Eat the Worm

French scientists are studying a parasitic worm that brainwashes its grasshopper host into drowning itself, allowing the worm to emerge into its adult environment and mate.

Maybe they can find a way to adapt the worms to prey on hominid life forms; we could airdrop a bunch of them over Berkeley. (Airdrop the worms, that is; I wouldn't subject any humans to the environment surrounding Berkeley.)
