*There is a species of fungi that is frighteningly similar to the Flood, the ''Cordyceps unilateralis''. They attack carpenter ants and take over their neural system in order to make the ants go to high places. By the time it gets there, it's been rotted from the inside out like a Flood host and it releases spores from that vantage point.<ref>[http://neurophilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/11/20/brainwashed-by-a-parasite/ '''Neaurophilosophy''': Brainwashed by a parasite]</ref> | *There is a species of fungi that is frighteningly similar to the Flood, the ''Cordyceps unilateralis''.

*In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Master Chief was attacked by an Infection Form while his shields were low. The Infection Form had slit the under parts of his armor, exposing his neck, and almost tapped his spinal cord.
