Not sure why this is suddenly big news here, my mom used to yell at me since I even remember to not get close to cats and wash my hands always or i'll get toxoplasmosis. i guess new research is being done... either way, there it is.

Here is the study from the man himself: Doc. RNDr. Jaroslav Flegr, CSc.
It is 40 slides, but worth it!

Some fascinating stuff in there.
Quote:In our studies we find that the differences between infected and noninfected subjects really exist. They were different, usually even opposite, for men and women.
Quote:The infected men had lower strength of superego, which means, they had higher tendency to disregard rules of their society, higher protension, which means, they were more suspecting, jealous, dogmatic. In some studies they also had lower intelligence, higher lie score, etc.
Quote:The infected women had higher affectothymia, which means, they were more warm-hearted, outgoing, easygoing. They had also higher superego strength, which means, they were more conscientious, persistent, moralistic, staid. Both men and women had higher guilt proneness.
Soooo.....
Is there something dogs pass along to their owners that ends up in their crotch?
