I've seen a clip of Robert Sapolsky talking about this stuff where he claims that more often than not you'll find people who've died doing high risk activities like blasting around on motorcycles were infected with it. I think his explanation was that the parasite drops the inhibitions in rats and other things a cat will eat in order to increase the chances a cat will ingest it and that it has a similar effect on humans.

The first I heard of it was when Tommy dies in Trainspotting because the kitten shits all over his flat.

higher rates than TB, 84% of pregnant women testing + for antibodies, present in the Artic proving cats aren’t the problem (which is a shame) and then this paragraph dropped

Transmission of the parasite can also occur by drinking municipal/well unboiled and unbottled water containing oocysts, exposure to contaminated soil, contaminated milk, exposure of children playing in sandpits, geophagia [115], [116], eating raw or undercooked meat, especially venison [117] or rabbits [118], raw oysters, clams, or mussels [119], consumption of unwashed raw fruits and vegetables contaminated with the oocytes [117], blood transfusion [120]–[122], maternal-fetal passage of blood cells (including placental trophoblasts) [123], [124], solid organ allografts [125], [126], bone marrow transplantation [127], allogeneic stem cell transplantation [128], sputum [129], breast milk [130], [131], and semen [132] (thus, probably the infection may be transmitted via both vaginal and oral sex, significantly more frequently from seropositive to passive sex partner than vice-versa (P<0.001) [133])

safe to say it’s everywhere @sufi , if you’re travelling the risks increase but if Europe continues to warm, the Brazilian data in among all these date sets will normalise

the buffer culture provides, our ability to turn away from core issues we deem inconvenient, all and more are contained herein

at least it puts the cat focus to bed, in the same way forever chemicals enter your system through meat and vegetables fed or grown on land using fertilisers rich in said compounds - you cannot escape the industry of disease

You seen this recent report about microplastics in everyone's brain? Wonder what that's doing too.

An examination of the livers, kidneys and brains of autopsied bodies found that all contained microplastics, but the 91 brain samples contained on average about 10 to 20 times more than the other organs.

The pre-print brain study led by Campen also hinted at a concerning link. In the study, researchers looked at 12 brain samples from people who had died with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. These brains contained up to 10 times more plastic by weight than healthy samples.

The paper also found the quantity of microplastics in brain samples from 2024 was about 50% higher from the total in samples that date to 2016, suggesting the concentration of microplastics found in human brains is rising at a similar rate to that found in the environment.

Bioengineers around the world have been working to create plastic-producing microbes that could replace the petroleum-based plastics industry. Now, researchers from Korea have overcome a major hurdle: getting bacteria to produce polymers that contain ring-like structures, which make the plastics more rigid and thermally stable.

Because these molecules are usually toxic to microorganisms, the researchers had to construct a novel metabolic pathway that would enable the E. coli bacteria to both produce and tolerate the accumulation of the polymer and the building blocks it is composed of.

The resulting polymer is biodegradable and has physical properties that could lend it to biomedical applications such as drug delivery, though more research is needed. The results are presented August 21 in Trends in Biotechnology.
