![]() Are you a cat lover? Have you been around cats at all or most of your life like me? If so you could be one of the millions infected because 1 out of every 2 humans are infected. Up to 50 percent of global population is infected by the 'cat parasite' Toxoplasma gondii, and in some areas, the infection rate is as high as 95 percent. Unless you get tested, there’s no way of knowing that you’re infected, but it’s been associated with a number of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Read the article HERE to learn more. ![]()

![]() I haven't noticed any mental disorders so far ![]() The infection is "asymptomatic in most healthy people" anyway, so it is still very likely I'm among the 50% infected. Interesting article!

Well, you can get horrible diseases from that type of cat too. That's not the only concern. If you aren't careful a baby will come out and grab you. lol

![]() Symptoms If you're healthy, you probably won't know you've contracted toxoplasmosis. Some people, however, develop signs and symptoms similar to those of the flu, including: Body aches Swollen lymph nodes Headache Fever Fatigue In people with weakened immune systems If you have HIV/AIDS, are receiving chemotherapy or have recently had an organ transplant, a previous toxoplasma infection may reactivate. In that case, you're more likely to develop signs and symptoms of severe infection, including: Headache Confusion Poor coordination Seizures Lung problems that may resemble tuberculosis or Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, a common opportunistic infection that occurs in people with AIDS Blurred vision caused by severe inflammation of your retina (ocular toxoplasmosis)

I just love when science sends myths to the streets and double-taps them in the chest and leaves them to rot for all to see.
