Zombie Searches Surge Across Multiple Countries

Original: zombie

The word 'zombie' is trending in Google searches in the UK, US, Canada, Mexico and Italy at the same time. Public radio programming on how the cordyceps fungus turns ants into so-called zombies has drawn attention to the phenomenon, likely aided by ongoing interest in fungal infection stories in popular culture. No single news event has been confirmed behind the spike.

Why now: Coordinated multi-country search interest suggests renewed pop-culture or science interest in zombies, possibly linked to cordyceps content
