This is pretty terrifying to me, all things considered.

It's already alien to think that a stroke or a good blow to the head can alter my personality without me ever knowing about it. I don't think I could voluntarily allow something to be injected into my brain unless the alternative is a rapid grizzly death.

What does it do after it delivered the medicine? Continue its journey as parasite? Or can it be instructed to die after the delivery?

I think they tame it. It knows to come out afterwards.

You get another parasite to cure it
