Some scientists suspect cats can cause mental illness in people… Toxoplasma gondii, commonly found in cat feces, contaminated water, and undercooked meat, has been implicated in some cases of schizophrenia. Alan S. Brown, a Columbia University professor of psychiatry and epidemiology, has found a 2.6 times greater prevalence of schizophrenia in people exposed to ‘toxo’ in utero.
Anyone heard of this? what are your thoughts? im really interested cause i think i may have it, and i was SERIOUSLY exposed to cats when younger, all my life i been around cats, and there was a room in my house that was for cats so cat feces was really smelling up the house. i believe my entire family has it in some form.
