I say we extract it and see what we can do with it, maybe put it in a monkey.

What if the parasite hijacked the hosts nervous system to make the host walk into sap and be encased in amber to go onto the next stage of it's parasitic cycle?

Which is being uncovered by a scientist, extracted, and infecting all mankind. The parasite is simply playing the long game.

horsehair worms which are still extant have been found doing the same in amber as well.
