In which scientists stereotype "Cat People"

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.
