Toxoplasma
Toxoplasma is a parasite that can affect a person’s mental abilities, memory, and can cloud decision making abilities. This parasite can affect fetus’ in detrimental ways during pregnancy, caused by cat’s feces in litter boxes. Animals that live off the land end up ingesting cat feces that will live in their brain until it spreads to what is supposed to be fresh vegetables, meat, and water. Once the parasites make contact with the food, it is not long before contact is made with a human. When medicine was un-available for AIDS, people experienced memory loss at the end of their life due to a non – supportive immune system. Human’s with a normal and healthy immunity are able to withstand serious illness, and just experience a quick pass of what

It was then determined that parasites created slower reflex reactions overall, males seemed to be very paranoid, and women were very trust worthy of situations going on around them. Flegr committed this test on multiple people, multiple times and the results still showed the same data. There was a very distinct difference in how infected men acted vs. infected women. Infected men were low maintenance and paranoid when asked to drink a liquid, while women were shown to be more high maintenance and trustworthy, and did not question anything when told to drink the liquid provided. Rats were then used in experiments performed by Flegr to determine what would happen when the rats were exposed to multiple different kinds of urine. The rats chose the urine from the cat’s every time which then was determined to be a deadly attraction due to cysts on the pleasurable parts of the brain. Flegr came to the conclusion that schizophrenia had something to do with parasites when he put schizophrenic patients through MRI testing. This showed that the region of the cerebral cortex was getting smaller, and with the schizophrenic patients testing positive for Toxoplasma, it was theoretically the parasite causing the schizophrenia. Flegr came to the final conclusions that the reason for an increase in car crashes was because the parasite slows down the
