I simply had to point out an
article I stumbled across in
livescience today. Apparently,
toxoplasma gondii is an infection that people can contract from cats. Essentially benign (although contracting it during pregnancy is apparently a Bad Thing
TM), it has some interesting effects:
- Lethargy and slowed reactions
- Neuroses
- Self-doubt
The author of the piece believes widespread
toxoplasma gondii infection has affected whole cultures.
This would explain so much.
