A neurologist from the Czech, Jaroslav Flegr (63 years old) claims to be a real example of toksplasma infection. As a result of parasite-infected are usually transmitted by cats, he menggalami behavioral changes in the last 20 years.
One time, he suddenly determined to cross the highway even though at that time the traffic was very congested. She lost her fear, including not at all panicked when he once got stuck in a shootout when he was in
Turkey.
"I'm curious about what's wrong with me," said Flegr as quoted Dailymail.
Flegr believes, many people become reckless and unable to think of risk in the face of danger because it is already infected with Toxoplasma. As a result, these people have a greater risk for injury or death due to accident.
Flegr claim is based on the results of the research at Leeds University that showed that Toxoplasma can increase the production of dopamine in the brain, which is a compound that can affect a person's behavior. This increase was also experienced in people with mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
The increase in these compounds also trigger imflamasi or inflammation, so that some brain function changes. One of them is the function of setting the mood (mood), motivation, ability to get along with the environment or socialization and sleep patterns.
The relationship between Toxoplasma infection with brain damage has actually been studied since the 1920s, but is limited to pregnant women and fetuses in the womb. In adults, the brain damage caused by toxoplasmosis is often overlooked because it is usually not accompanied by symptoms.
