Ever wonder why you do certain things sometimes? Ever blame it on mind control?
I often blame the 50s movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" for my insomnia - it was one of those movies they'd show late at night on television when the glow of a cathode tube can be spooky enough. But having the hero go insane at the end and scream at the camera "Whatever you do, don't go to sleep" did a reasonable head job on me. In actual life, though, brain parasites cannot alter our behavior.
Except for a new study shows that toxoplasma, a parasite found in cat crap that may affect %50 of the human race as it's a benign parasite that doesn't hurt the host... Is definitively showing signs of altering the mental behavior of rats.
There is a causal link between schizophrenia and women who are pregnant who carry toxoplasma.
That's right, there's a parasite present in %50 of the human population (%15 in the US) that is sourced in cats that has been shown to effectively control the minds of rats.
Sleep tight.
