About 40 per cent of the world’s cat population is infected with Toxoplasma gondii.
.
This is a parasite thought to have long-term, irreversible effects on the mammalian brain.
.
Infected rats and mice lose their fear of cats.
.
According to research, infected humans change behaviour.
.
Sydney University of Technology infectious disease researcher Nicky Boulter claims infected men have lower IQs and shorter attention spans.
.
They are also more likely to be anti-social and morose.
Whereas infected women are more outgoing, friendly, promiscuous and attractive.
.
In short, according to Boulter, it can make men behave like alley cats and women behave like sex kittens.
.
And to think that cats are one of the humanities favourite pet of choice!

Does this explain something or just confuse us?
.
Know anyone who should get tested for this?
