Motorcyclists Guided by Parasites? Interesting interview about Toxoplasma
via tobiastenney.com
This is just too weird. So it looks like Toxoplasma (parasitic protozoa) can only reproduce in the gut of a cat. How can it get into the belly of a cat? By hijacking a rat's fear and sex reponses... suddenly the rat is not afraid of the smell of cat urine; in fact, they're not attracted to it....
You gotta listen/read. Amazing stuff.
