    Here’s the best part: they leave the nervous system alone. Thus, if it did affect people, then you’d still be sentient while puppetted.

    The parasite Toxoplasma gondii can infect the brains of mammals, including humans, and change behavior. Domestic cats who prey on rodents with this parasite can infect their owners…
