Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that is usually found inside cats and
most warm blooded species. It was able to penetrate the cats from the rats that
are common part of their meal. The parasite would change the behavior of the
rat by making it friendlier with the cat, leaving it defenseless on the attack
of the cat.
After it successfully entered the cat, the parasite would multiply
inside the animal. The cats are the only known host where the Toxoplasma gondii
can sexually multiply.
The parasite can also enter the human species. It also has an effect on
the behavior of its host. In male they tend to disassociate themselves from the
society (which maybe a reason for the emo’s) while infected females tend to be
more affectionate toward their partner.
This parasite has also been associated to different neurological
diseases such as schizophrenia. However, the effect of this remains limited.
They enter the human body when a person usually consumes raw meats, when
they normally drink unpasteurized milk, if their body is in usual contact with
soil, if they eat vegetables and fruits that are not washed or when cleaning
the cat litter box.
The parasite is known to be fast in adapting to its environment. If a
certain parasite who possess an uncanny behavior in adaptation has penetrated
our body, it’ll only be a time before it can affect and control our way of
thinking. Imagine if their effects on rodents are the same as the effects on
human, the world will be infested with people who are not in control of their
body.
