More likely to be eaten by cats

 

The New York Times Magazine reports that:

"...more than 60 million people in the United States are infected with a parasite that may migrate into their brains and alter their behavior in a way that -- among other things -- may leave them more likely to be eaten by cats. " The parasite "causes rats to become attracted to the smell of cat urine."

One researcher found that people infected by the parasite have "have slower reflexes and are 2.5 times as likely to get into car accidents." Some suggest that infection with the parasite might explain the "Crazy Cat Lady" syndrome.
