https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26859275/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26859275/ That's an incredibly weak straw man that you've built there. Toxoplasmosis has been shown to alter the behaviour of prey species in such a way that they become attracted to the urine of members of predator species - and this attraction significantly improves toxoplasmosis' chance of reproduction. The "mind control" is very limited - but when a sick animal pretty much ends up programmed to dive into a predator's mouth "THIS IS NORMAL" could not be further from the truth.
