Crazy 'cat lady' parasite that decapitates sperm, affects 1 in 3, is grossly neglected: Study

Toxoplasma gondii, often linked to "crazy cat lady" stereotypes, is a pervasive parasite found in one-third of the global population, often transmitted through cat feces. It can lead to severe health issues, including brain inflammation and miscarriages. Despite its potential dangers, including its ability to affect sperm and mental health conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, it remains largely unaddressed. This oversight is alarming given its widespread presence and the serious complications it can cause.
