Parasites are masters of mind control. One parasite convinces mice to be friendly to cats and of course they get eaten, putting the parasites where they want to be, inside of a cat. These same parasites can affect humans who get infected by changing cat litter or playing in an infected sandbox, for example. Infected humans take more risks making them inferior drivers for example.
Studies have shown that in geographic regions more susceptible to parasites, people have more authoritarian governments and associate in smaller groups which favor known individuals. Prejudice increases due to fear of the unknown health of those not part of the known group.
This is an eye-opening read. Very interesting.
