The parasite that rewrites behavior

March 16, 20260 views

There is a parasite that doesn’t just live inside animals, it changes how they behave. Toxoplasma infects the brain of rodents and removes their fear of predators, making them easier to be eaten. Scientists have found that this parasite can also infect humans, and some studies suggest it may influence personality, risk-taking, and behavior without you even realizing it.
