Cat Parasite Messes With Your Brain?!

Turns out that a super common cat parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, can seriously mess with your brain’s communication system—even if only a few neurons are infected! Scientists found that infected brain cells send fewer and weirder signals, which could throw off your brain’s balance. Most people never notice, but for some, it can get dangerous. Moral of the story: wash your hands after cleaning the litter box and cook your meat well. Wild how something so tiny can have such a big impact! #ScienceNews #BrainHealth #Parasites #Health
