As soon as I read the title I though "what could go wrong?"

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?

You get another parasite to cure it

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