Parasite

“Scientist say a parasite carried by cats, appears to influence the behavior of humans. In this case, women infected with the parasite, were slightly more likely to attempt suicide.”

A small message in a news broadcast. But it’s something you start thinking about. Why woman? Why cats? What is ‘slightly more likely’? Is that even measurable? And whut!? Not an itchy spot or a nasty cough but attempt Suicide??
