While conducting a totally separate experiment, a group of scientists from Johns Hopkins and the University of Nebraska accidentally discovered something unexpected and potentially disturbing.
A virus was living in the mouths and throats of a good portion of the people in the study, a virus that the researchers didn't think was capable of infecting humans. Worse still, it seemed to be slowing some of the subjects' mental abilities, especially their ability to process visual information.
The surprising part about this for researchers was that a microscopic organism that we thought could only infect algae — plants — was living in about 40% of the small number of people tested.
For the rest of us, the bigger surprise may be that this virus could join the ranks of microorganisms that live inside and on us, changing the way we think.
In a way, this is less crazy than it seems. Microscopic organisms live all over people and have all kinds of effects on our health, brain, and behavior.
There are far more microorganisms in and on a "person" than there are "human cells." Along with a few pounds of bacteria — trillions of microbes — an even larger number of viruses live in and on the human body. And we know that some of these other creatures may change the way we think, feel, and even the way we interact with others.

Great....must be in the D.C. water.
As a wise man once said,”Don’t drink the water, fish have sex in it!”.......................
May partially help explain why so many libtards live near large bodies of water . . .
I like to keep all the creatures that live inside me drunk.
Toxoplasmosis turns people into liberals.
Ebola makes people book the next international flight with a meal and a movie.
OMG, there really is “something in the water.”
All hail or new alien lizard masters.

“,”Don’t drink the water, fish have sex in it!”.......................”
I always heard it’s because the crap in it.
My brain slows down when I see a pretty girl. Takes longer to visually process too. Maybe I have a virus.
they carp in it ?
ACTV-1, is a bacteria mostly found in plants. When ingested by lab mice, aprox. 40% become slower in reacting to visual cues and take longer to solve puzzles or mazes. It would not surprise me at all to discover there had been some organized, deliberate effort to ‘dumb down’ most of the public. I think that has clearly already been achieved. The question of urgency is can it be a. Stopped in it’s erosion of the senses
b. Reversed in the damages done c. Prevented or eradicated from most urban bodies of water. d. Does it occur naturally, or is it’s production and proliferation artifically induced?
Then what do the carp do?
Give me some time to read that and think it through...
Bump and thanks for posting this article.
Hmmm... somewhat like the beer in “strange brew”?
“Then what do the carp do?”
They try and stay far away from the snapping turdles!
I meant crap as in shit!
