Hey, thanks for doing this AMA! I have a question regarding your opinions on Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that comes from our feline companions and is suggested to impact up to 1/3 of the planets population. There are studies and hypothesis that point towards it having a direct impact in causing mental illness, especially schizophrenia. Is this something that you guys have 1, considered or learned about and 2, are concerned about the impact of it influencing the billions of people that own or adopt cats? More keeps on coming out about it, but it seems like a scary chance to take for taking care of a cat.
I’d love to hear any comments you guys might have on this. Thanks!
