I posted on this else where but missed this thread. This claim is being misrepresented. Toxoplasmosis is a known teratogen. Meaning it causes birth defects. It's why pregnant women shouldn't be emptying the cat's litter box. It may be that toxoplasmosis ends up having a connection to schizophrenia but it isn't infecting brains and changing the person's behaviors as implied. Sammy has posted the facts. Sarong's article titled, Toxoplasma Parasite Mind Control, misrepresents them.
