Women with cats may have higher suicide risk due to feline fecal parasite http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57465725-10391704/female-cat-owners-may-have-higher-suicide-risk-due-to-feline-fecal-parasite/

Owning a cat might increase a woman’s risk for attempting suicide, new research suggests.

A new study from the July 2 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry showed that women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite found in some cats’ feces were 1.5 times more likely to try to take their own life than those who were not infected.
