Toxoplasma Gondii - Real Life Zombie Parasite

Did you know that up to 80% of humans may be infected with toxoplasma gondii, a parasite? This particular parasite is known to enter the bodies of rats and control their brains in order to lead them to cats and finish their life cycles in the stomach of a feline. It has a known connection to schizophrenia and is the reason that pregnant women are warned to keep away from cat litter. In humans it also causes a significant personality change - men become more introverted, women become more extroverted. It is the zombie parasite of the rat world. Enjoy your day :)
