Holy Crap! Researchers find schizophrenia linked to parasite carried by cats! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1060833 Serbia 08/07/2010 06:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BALTIMORE -- Johns Hopkins University scientists trying to determine why people develop serious mental illness are focusing on an unlikely factor: a common parasite spread by cats. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1059478The researchers say the microbes, called Toxoplasma gondii, invade the human brain and appear to upset its chemistry - creating, in some people, the psychotic behaviors recognized as schizophrenia. If tackling the parasite can help solve the mystery of schizophrenia, "it's a pretty good opportunity ... to relieve a pretty large burden of disease," said Dr. Robert H. Yolken, director of developmental neurobiology at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. [link to poststar.com] Being crazy is so much more fun. [link to www.youtube.com] |

But there is no such thing as schizophrenia per se. There is toxoplasmosis - there is telepahthic attack. The toxo carried by cats is usued symbiotically (yes cats have been using biological warfare for eons) to create senility in their prey. Toxo does cause senility and as such the older prey is easier to catch - the gondii is happy and the cats are happy. Most unattributed deaths of old people that take a fall are down to cats either tripping or toxoing the human. Ever wondered why it is the cat is brushing against your legs - ever wondered why the cat is standing right behind you and you almost take a fall. The cats natural hunting instinct is TO TRIP up its prey. Oh yes folks your cute fluffy moggy is not nothing more than a wild animal predominantly - dont let them fool you into thinking otherwise. Your tom cat wants dominance of the tribe and will trip you up. Regards Jules |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 827586Fuck yes it does! Look how defensive these asshole are over their goddamn disease tranferring felines too! It's like they were a bunch of fat girls freakuing out because they were justtold chocolate cake is high in empty calories. Stupid bitches. It's been known for years that cats carry and transfer a whole host of diseases to human's. It's also a well knowe medical fact some schizophrenia has been is from spriochete bacteria, such as those caused by syphillis. Sorry cattards(sounds a lot like cat turds) you cat fuckers can lick a cat's ass(probably do exactly that) for all I care. But your worthless cats, who kill every little animal around that moves- sqirrels,rabbits,birds(and for no reason just to kill) are making you bitches the lame mentally retarded doom sheeps you are. "Oh god no NO!!! Not my cats!!!boohoo hoo hoo!!! You're a liar!!! Slap*@#!?*#@pull hair snivel#@*a!!!" Let me guess... Your dog told you to type that??? Son of Sam din't have a cat. It was his dog that told him to kill those people. Oh gee you're really hilarious or so you think. I like how you say "'Son of Sam'didn't have a cat" then you feel you have to explain who he was. For your information dickhead, I think people who keep dogs and cats in their houses are more prone to a whole host of disease & parasites. Their filthy microbe/parasite infested fur and dander float around and land on everything. You lay with dogs you get fleas. There are over 100 diseases that people share with dogs and cats. Of course many zoo keeper/stupid "oh I gotta have my pets up my ass on my bed and on top of my counter tops" will say how the treat their filthy fucking cats/dogs with all kinds of shit a preventative etc., these stupid fuck them subject themselves to all the poisons it take to kill and prevent the infestations! On top of that since most people have to have wall to wall carpet which are rich for a plethora of shit to breed in, they're just asking for it! Dogs are fine. They actually have a purpose. But animals should live outside where they belong. Not wiping their asses accross the carpet and pissing,sprinkling marking et al their cheese dick worm ass flea bitten filthy animals selves on carpet,couches and clothes infesting the sanctuary inside of the home. Especially with children. You fucking over the top whiney fuckbags are pathetic over you dumb animals! Geeee fucking wizzzz! I remember readin a post with the religious freaks among flipping out when people told you your souless animals won't be following your retarded asses into heaven! Hahahahah a GLP tard classic!!! Actually Son of Sam's dog lived outside pottymouth! If the parasite makes people more caring, you need a few huge doses of it! |

Humans can get infected either directly (from contact with cat feces), or from eating the (undercooked) meat of an animal that was itself infected by a cat," Yolken said. Some toxoplasmosis outbreaks have been traced to water supplies contaminated by cat feces. Always pay attention to what is happening around you. [link to thehalsreport.com] |

Kevin D. Lafferty ... People with latent toxoplasmosis score themselves differently in self administered personality profiles than do uninfected people (Flegr and Hrdy, 1994; Flegr et al., 1996, 2000). Infected men seem more dogmatic, less trusting of others, less respectful of rules, more orderly and more jealous. Unlike infected rats, infected men are more wary and less impulsive (Flegr et al., 2003). In stark contrast, infected women are more likely to score themselves as warm-hearted, easy-going, conscientious, persistent, insecure and moralistic (Flegr et al., 2000). Infected women are also more likely to have many friends and romantic partners and like to shop for clothes. Both men and women are more prone to guilt when infected. Personality changes are greater in individuals that have had infections for a long time, helping to discredit the hypothesis that personality determines exposure risk. Perhaps the most dangerous thing about latent T. gondii is that it slightly reduces the ability to focus on a task (Havlicek et al., 2001). This may explain why infected people are nearly three times more likely to crash their cars (Flegr et al., 2002). --- |

They had been keeping in touch for several months when she said, "Why don't you just fly out here and stay the weekend with me!" He decided that "fuck it he'd drive." For 800 miles he followed his dick to her door. She was so horny and ready(along with him) as soon as the door opened they started tearing each others clothes off! They rolled all over the floor in sex crazed madness. That was until the histamine set in! You see my friend is horribly allergic to these furry beasts. His nose cloggs, eyes water and shut,throat tightens and he begans a journey into a personal hell. I've witnessed this from him being around just ONE cat. This chick had three cats!!!! Ahahahahah. "So then what happened?" I asked. "She drove me to a hotel room where I spent most of the weekend recovering so I could drive back home." When I asked how that ass was he said, " Other than squeezing it I have no fucking idea! Those goddamn cats fucked everything up!"

Cats sit down to pee (our scientists have proved it). The copulation of cats is harrowing; they are unbearably fond of the moon. Perhaps they are all right in their own country but their traditions are alien to ours. Cats smell, they can't help it, you notice it going upstairs. Cats watch too much television, they can sleep through storms, they stabbed us in the back last time. There have never been any great artists who were cats. They don't deserve a capital C except at the beginning of a sentence. I blame my headaches and my plants dying on cats. Our district is full of them, property values are falling. When I dream of God I see a Massacre of Cats. Why should they insist on their own language and religion, who needs to purr to make his point? Death to all cats!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1060912 Canada 08/07/2010 08:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh, God. Look, I've been through this. I've got a sister with severe OCD who made my life a living hell OBSESSING over the possibility that we could be carrying taxoplasmosis (we have a few cats). She would cry hysterically if she even had to clean a litter box, she was so frightened of getting it. And then there was the obsession over whether pregnant women would get it, pass it on to their embryo and die if we flushed any feline fecal matter, however microscopic. Fun times We had to calm her down. So, we asked four different vets. FOUR. All of them not only say you'd practically have to EAT an infected cat's turd to contract it, but that they haven't heard of any new diagnoses. At all. Dangerous, yes. Likely, hell no. Unless you've made a habit of taking in and looking after hundreds of stray cats (outside runoff water + rotting garbage is usually where they get the parasite, I'm told), I doubt you'll even encounter a cat who's heard of it. |
