Re: Toxoplasmosis - You probably already have it
Louis Wain was a prominent cat artist who later developed schizophrenia, which some believe was due to toxoplasmosis resulting from his prolonged exposure to cats.
What's a cat artist?

Hes that guy that painted pictures of cats, but as he got more and more insane, his paintings got more and more surreal.
Also this part.
Other studies suggest that the parasite may influence personality. There are claims of toxoplasma causing antisocial attitudes in men and promiscuity[25] (or even "signs of higher intelligence"[26] ) in women, and greater susceptibility to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in all infected persons.[25] A 2004 study found that toxoplasma "probably induce[s] a decrease of novelty seeking." [27]
According to Sydney University of Technology infectious disease researcher Nicky Boulter in an article that appeared in the January/February 2007 edition of Australasian Science magazine, Toxoplasma infections lead to changes depending on the sex of the infected person. [28][29]
The study suggests that male carriers have shorter attention spans, a greater likelihood of breaking rules and taking risks, and are more independent, anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose. It also suggests that these men are deemed less attractive to women. Women carriers are suggested to be more outgoing, friendly, more promiscuous, and are considered more attractive to men compared with non-infected controls. The results are shown to be true when tested on mice, though it is still inconclusive. A few scientists have suggested that, if these effects are genuine, prevalence of toxoplasmosis could be a major determinant of cultural differences.Last edited by The_Real_Crunk; 05-12-2009, 06:35 PM.Comment

This sounds like Dihydrogen Monoxide but I can't find the joke.
