>Affects 70% of the world's population
>Generates cysts in the brain. These cysts take over the fear center of the brain, but specifically the fear of predators.
>When Toxo is going about futzing with the fear center of the brain it also goes into the sexual excitement part of the brain.
>Takes control of our dopamine regulator to control our desires at the intercellular level
>government has done research on t. gondii and is officially 'interested' in toxo: (https://youtu.be/m3x3TMdkGdQ?t=960)
>After you're infected with T. gondii, the parasite forms cysts that can affect almost any organ but that most often affect your brain, skeleton and heart muscle.
>genetic engineering and selective adaptation technology could (or already has secretly) reach the point where we can create a stain of t. gondii to regulate different hormones, and possibly even infect the same animal twice under different adaptations that allow the control of even more of the brain, beyond hormones and sexual excitement
Why aren't we more worried about this?

Also note I've made threads about t. gondii many times in the past and EVERY TIME there's a group of American posters who outright dismiss this as mishegosh and ignore all the facts. EVERY SINGLE TIME. YIs our government researching this under the prose of 'first strike ability' and thus national defense? Maybe the Russians and Chinese are doing this too and it's all kept hush hush because it would break the fabric of modern society and the trust we inherently attach to authority.
You tell me /pol/. whats going on?

isnt spread through cats? would explain the crazy cat ladies...
>>71922855
How to get rid of it?
>women love cats
>cats transmit Toxoplasmosis
>Toxoplasmosis causes repression of fear of predators
> as well as increasing sexual desires
>women dress and act like whores
>while protesting for more immigration from predatory races
Makes sense.
>>71922955
I've read somewhere that it makes serial killers out of people or at the least makes them seek out thrill just for the sake of it. Is that true? Sorry, don't have the time to read all your sources.
Also, it can rewire a rat's brain into committing suicide straight into the jaws of the cat. HOW?
>>71924926
>HOW?
Easy. It spreads sexually through cats so it's like any other parasite.
It's host is used for a time, until it comes to reproducing.
We are lucky cats are small and frail. We could be the rat.
Bump.

So how do you know if you're infected?
>>71922855
Its asymtomatic unless you have AIDS or through congenital infection so infections go unnoticed by the vast majority of the infected.
>>71927363
Well if you are, or have been, you can test for antibodies ;)
>>71927459
Asymptomatic doesn't mean it's not doing anything. It merely means it has no obvious affects on your health.
>>71927660
>>71927567
>Asymptomatic doesn't mean it's not doing anything
No shit. However, one thing it always fails to do is let the infected person know they're a parasite hive.
>>71927775
Whats your point?
>>71927775
Also it's recently discovered it isn't asymptomatic. People who suffer from it report having tiny itches all over their body.
what's the cure or shut up
>>71928389
ask Martin Shkreli :')

Failing to see the downsides here. I mean obviously having a parasite is kind of gross, but it reminds me a lot of the worms from that episode of Futurama. Also I guess it's no difference in principle than all the helpful bacteria that lives in your intestine.
Fun fact: interest in toxoplasmosis and the conspiracies around it all stem from a Cracked article from 6/7 years ago.

I read that the negative symptoms result in weakened immune systems and most healthy people throw them off in due course..
>>71928737
So I just have to eat my cat's feces and I get superpowers?
Sign me up!
>owned cats all my life

>usually very happy all the time without any stimulants or drugs, can crack a genuine smile at any time
Can confirm.
Bump
>>71927660
>Makes you tall and attractive
Well, at least I know I don't have it
>>71922855
Doesn't one's immune system kill it though? It's not a chronic infection AFAIK.
>>71934113
It only suppresses it which forces the virus to go into a cyst like state as you see in the OP picture. That's the ocyst in a mouse's brain which has thousands of little t. gondii inside being protected from antibodies.

I hope that was an accident.
I'm 100% certain I have t. gondii, probably explains my rage.
>>71934284
How can it have an effect if it's isolated like that though?
>>71934807
Yes it was an accident.

scientists don't know enough about protein structure to engineer a virus with unique physiological properties like that, nii-san
this is just anti-cat propaganda, saged & hidden
>>71935685
I never said they do.
>>71927660
This sucks. I think cats are quite cute but if I'm infested with this.
