Default Britons hidden toxoplasma problem.

A parasite spread by cats is infecting 1,000 new people every day in Britain – about 350,000 a year – according to an official assessment of the risks posed by toxoplasma, which can cause serious illness and has been tentatively linked with schizophrenia and other psychotic disturbances.

I say get rid of the cats and make helicopters out of them.

You are correct in using the term "tentatively" because it is early days and nothing is definite yet.

I have had cats from the day I was born an until now. Have never been sick due to my cats or related to them

The only sickness I ever had, was when one of my cats bit me in the right hand and I was on sick leave for about 2 month.

So does this mean for the next subsim meet at Neal's house, Jim and Steed will have to wear some sort toxoplasma collar?

Who's going to give Jim his pills? Not I said the chicken.

Wait, who was the EMT again?

Of course, if you go a bit further north and west, into Weegie country, then Toxoplasma is the least of your problems:
