Cats: First biotechnology company to develop and manufacture a cat vaccine that kills the protozoan...
...Toxoplasma gondii. [This protozoan parasite causes cysts in human brains and muscles and is the reason why pregnant women and those with weak immune systems (the very young, the very old, and the sick) shouldn’t be around cats. The parasite is the cause of the “mad cat lady” syndrome due to the parasite’s ability to induce schizophrenia and produce or trigger the production of LSD in the bloodstream.]
