Cat poo parasite a "vast and underappreciated" public health problem

Here is a longer and somewhat less silly article. This one is too silly; it may be bad for your health.

Given that Mr. Torrey’s work relating to toxoplasmosis is mostly centered around its correlation with schizophrenia, I’d be really surprised if he actually spent a whole interview talking about meaningless poop-safety procedures. Unless you never leave your house, you’re at risk of contracting toxoplasmosis.

And if you do get it, you’ll probably be fine if you’re not a fetus, a baby, or suffering from a compromised immune system. People in the latter situation are more likely to be incapacitated by a more common illness, like flu; and actually, a lot of the fetii and babies are also fine.

Concluding paragraph: This is a silly article.
