Pregnant women are told to stay away from cat’s litter boxes, but most people don’t know why. Turns out there’s actually something to the “crazy old cat lady†phrase.
There’s a little-known parasite called Toxoplasma Gondii, which is usually found in cats and needs to be inside one in order to reproduce. When it leaves a cat, its only goal is to get inside another one, usually through rats and mice. The parasite will then manipulate the rats and mice to make them more reckless and have slower reaction times, so there’s a higher chance of being eaten by a cat and the cycle repeating.
Researchers now believe that when the parasite ends up inside a human, it may cause similar effects. So if you own a cat and find yourself running in front of cars, don’t worry, it’s probably just a tiny parasite playing with your brain. --
