Although I'm all for the study of T. gondii, they also state other factors that could affect schizophrenia outcome:
>> Environmental factors are also important. Epidemiologic studies, for example, have established that winter-spring birth, urban birth, and perinatal and postnatal infection are all risk factors for the disease developing in later life.
- cm2012 3y agoThere's so much BS around toxoplasmosis online. And apparently in this article. Here's corrections for two common misconceptions: 1) Almost everyone who has it got it from eating undercooked meat, not from cats. France has the highest rate of toxoplasmosis in the world because of their propensity for rare meats: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5312802/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5312802/. 2) Unless your cat lived a long part of it's life as an outdoor cat, it is very unlikely to have the parasite (like any parasite). So I suspect toxoplasmosis is completely uninvolved in any correlation they may have found.
