Torrey believes about 10-25% of all people are infected with toxoplasmosis; others have found a higher incidence--perhaps up to 50%. Since the lifetime prevalence of Schizophrenia is 2%, it remains a mystery why so many are infected but so few develop Schizophrenia.

From the behavioral changes described, I'd be willing to wager that the incidence of toxoplasmosis is considerably higher in leftists.

I liked the Courante title better, 'Return of the Body Snatchers,' but that title lends no credibility. But, remember Doc, correlation is not cause.

Now that's an interesting question.
We have two cats. One is a bengal. She will literally run up the screen door and walls if she can get away with it. My other cat just looks at her in bewilderment.

How would one know if their cat was crazy? If it looks like this one.

Sobering. Thankfully, was never around kitty litter long . . .
And, my blood has always been clear of such . . . as best as I can recall. LOL.
