What If You Were Infected by the Cordyceps Fungus? (The Last of Us IRL)

Deep in the jungle, there's a fungus that infects creatures, and turns them into zombies. This deadly fungus, known as Cordyceps, has the ability to take out entire species. What if this fungus infected you, by touching your skin, or just by breathing it in? Could the Cordyceps fungus turn you into a zombie? What would it do to your body? And how likely is it that this will happen to you?

If I ever got infected by this fungus and turned into a clicker, I would at least prefer to be stealth-killed by Ellie.

Someone needs to make a zombie game based off the Cordyceps Fungus...

Preferably a game set in America with the main character being a 40+ year-old man with anger issues who treks the country with his surrogate 14-year-old daughter looking for a faction of some kind.

The game “The Last of Us” was inspired by this fungus. So we can already see how it would be like, if you play the game.
