Bull. They're saying that there's a parasite in our minds that we get from cats? How could this not have been noticed before? How does the parasite travel from cats to humans?

Doesn't make sense to me...
That's because you've got the parasite.
You feeling okay? Handled many cats lately?
Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth.
I cant speak to the research in that article, but toxo is very real.
Transmission is fecal oral.
(An active infection can also be transmitted from mother to fetus)
Cysts (the infective form of toxoplama) are ingested by the human, the organism then penetrates the intestine and is disseminated within the body (including the brain).
Generally, the infection is contained by the host, resulting in the persistence of dormant cysts, but if the host becomes immunocompromized, it can lead to encephalitis.
It is the most common cause of encephalitis in HIV+ patients.
