Unsurprising since a majority of cats have brain parasites the pass to humans.

It should be noted that most people with toxoplasmosis didn’t get it from their pet cat, but from food: undercooked meat, or unwashed fruit or veg can both harbor eggs.

Individual cats only shed eggs for a few weeks before they’re immune to the parasite. And those shed eggs take at least 24 hours to become infectious, so it’s even less likely to get it from your cat if you clean the litter box daily.

The majority of outdoor cats (56.7%). Indoor cats have an infection rate of 22.1%.

Depends on the country and even the region of the country.

Worth it. No, it’s not the toxoplasma speaking. Still worth it!

BINGO!

FINALLY!

Toxoplasmosis IS SPECTACULARLY IMPLICATED.

Why, The Fuck, hasn’t somebody done this measurement DECADES ago??

https://www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pnas.201243998


The amoeba feasting-on/infesting the brains of all such kids must significantly-increase the likelihood of berzerk-cell-apoptosis in malfunctioning individuation ( cell-apoptosis seems to be the means of extinguishing the child-identity & force-creating a desparate-to-individuate teenager, creating the personality-change ).

Look at Figure-1 in that paper, to see where 20% cortex-loss happens, 15%, 10%, & 5%…


Gaslighting children that there is no “brain injury”, it is all “illness of their mind”,

when there are MEDICAL SCIENCE IMAGES of the actual brain-loss,

AND the 10% brain-volume loss ( overall ) was known an entire century ago…

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3181763/

…medical-profession gaslighting brain-injured children about their actual condition, consistently, for their entire-lives, is evil.

Never gaslight someone who just lost 10% of their brain with “it is just your mental illness”.

That Is Evil.

I was in a brain injured accident and my mental illness healed better than I’ve ever gotten in my whole life. I even got lucky as fuck an exopential grade higher than the accident itself was unlucky. On top of the healing itself.

If you think that’s fantastic. You haven’t heard the whole shebang. The lucky itself just went yet another magnificent itself above even THAT. I could write a book to tell the whole story.
