There have been many articles here on FR about cat disease toxoplasmosis. There is a mouse cat cycle where the disease makes mice unafraid of cats. Then there was the Russian study where drivers were very reckless when infected with the parasite. All tied back to the mouse cat cycle.

Rats infected with it actually seek out cat urine and wait by it to be ingested by a cat.

There is more incredible stuff like this in the book I posted about just a few minutes ago. Parasites have WAY more influence in the field of neurology than we ever dreamed....

Again. Correlation in the book is organ donors from killed motorcyclists - for many years they have had a rule of thumb to not use organs from high risk motorcyclists. Now they now why. They had T Gondii infections.
