I saw a similar story about a year ago. It later was said that it was put out as an April Fool's joke.

Now, that I would believe. Large constrictors are said to have swallowed humans whole.

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But, that gets boring...so I go back to being me.

Although the article in the link is a joke (it IS dated April 1 after all!), there are vaguely similar things in the real world. Most notable are various parasites that infect insects (and I think one that gets rats) and infects their brains in order to cause the critter to behave in a way that aids the spread of the parasite (sometimes inducing suicidal behavior in the host).
