    Damn. Yeah, toxoplasmosis is no joke. Slightly unrelated but still relevant, my grandma fuckin died because she got a stroke and then - while in recovery at home - got scratched by one of her young cats and developed cat scratch disease, which then infected her liver.

      That's horrible, fuck. There's fears toxo affects humans in ways we don't understand yet too. Man that's a shit way to die, I'm sorry to hear that.

        Yeah I was really upset about it when it happened over a decade ago, but as I've grown older I've come to the realization that she probably would've preferred being taken out by one of her beloved cats rather than suffering another 5-10 years with the after-effects of the stroke. Glass half full or something, I guess.
