:catpeople: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/science-sushi/2012/07/04/toxoplasmas-dark-side-the-link-between-parasite-and-suicide/ quote:The results were clear. Women with Toxoplasma infections were 54% more likely to attempt suicide – and twice as likely to succeed. In particular, these women were more likely to attempt violent suicides (using a knife or gun, for example, instead of overdosing on pills). But even more disturbing: suicide attempt risk was positively correlated with the level of infection. Those with the highest levels of antibodies were 91% more likely to attempt suicide than uninfected women. The connection between parasite and suicide held even for women who had no history of mental illness: among them, infected women were 56% more likely to commit self-directed violence. http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2008/03/13/good-news-on-toxoplasmosis-tre/ quote:An infected cat can excrete up to 20 million oocysts over two weeks…Even a single oocyst is infectious and they can remain infectious in water for up to six months and in warm moist soil for up to a year.
