The current issue of Discover magazine had a brief article about Toxoplasma Gondii. Being generally ignorant, I was unaware of this parasitic creature. A female friend educated me that pregnant women who own cats are quite familiar with it, as the routine toxosis it can cause is known to be harmful to fetuses.
The Discover article focused on a different aspect. Recent studies have uncovered correlations between toxoplasma and schizophrenia, and indeed, there is some evidence that the little beast may account for the most significant cultural differences between countries and peoples. Correlations have been made between toxoplasma and male stupidity, between toxoplasma and female libido, between toxoplasma and neuroticism and schizophrenia. Click here and here for references....Google for yourself and try to decide if this is symptomatic of a medical tulip craze or totally legitimate, and then drive yourself to Walgreen's and get a test kit.

Toxoplasmosis? No way. Everyone knows cultural and personality afflictions are more suitably correleated to astrology. :-)
Yea I think they have a test kit for astrologosis as well :-)
