There is one parasite that some scientists believe may be influencing human behaviour. And about one in three of us are infected. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite whose normal life cycle takes it from cat to mouse and back again. It reproduces inside the digestive system of the cat, exiting through faeces, which is then consumed by mice and rats.
Once inside its secondary host, T.gondii starts to manipulate behaviour, making the host more daring and risk-averse. Parasitised rodents, far from being scared of the odour of cats, are actively attracted to it. Ultimately, this daredevil behaviour tends to get the rat or mouse eaten, returning the parasite to its primary host, the cat.
...Toxoplasma gondii can also be carried by humans. The infection is usually asymptomatic, so most people don't even realise they have it. However, research has shown that infected men find the smell of cat urine more appealing than normal.
...T. gondii infection in humans has now also been associated with a range of behavioural changes such as recklessness, aggression and impulsivity. For instance, one study found T. gondii infection correlated with a six-fold increase in the incidence of traffic accidents.
...T. gondii infection has been linked to schizophrenia and suicidal behaviour. Toxoplasma gondii controls host behaviour through the formation of cysts in the brain, which secrete the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, increasing production of neurotransmitters (chemicals which carry signals from neuron to neuron) such as dopamine and norepinephrine in the host's brain.
Both these chemicals have been implicated in human behaviour and mental health, particularly depression and schizophrenia, and several antipsychotic medications have been found to slow T. gondii growth. Together this evidence suggests T. gondii infection in humans may play a role in mental health via its effects on neurotransmitters in the brain.

Care, the expectation is for podesta arrest announcement Saturday evening, his arrest Sunday and humas on Tuesday.
Not been decoding much last couple days as prepping to speak at a conference tomorrow.
BERLIN — Angela Merkel told her conservative party on Monday that she intends to step down as its leader but remain Germany's chancellor following a pair of state election debacles, German media reported.
Merkel's predecessor, Gerhard Schroeder, stepped down as leader of his center-left Social Democrats in 2004 as his government struggled, but remained chancellor. For years, Merkel insisted that the chancellor should also be party leader.
