Cats may be the cause of cancer

According to the Daily Mail, scientists have warned that cats may be a cause for brain cancer cells to grow faster. Because they found a link between a parasite that lives in a cat's stomach and cancer cells in the human brain.

Although there are still no convincing explanations, scientists still insist that isolation from cats can help them and their owners avoid this deadly disease.

Brain cancer is a very dangerous disease that has claimed the lives of 3,500 people every year in the UK alone. The cause of this disease remains a mystery to doctors and scientists.

The research results show that the parasite that lives in the human brain - Toxoplasma gondii - is closely related to personality changes, both in humans and animals. These parasites have a complex life cycle and they can only reproduce inside the cat's stomach.
According to recent statistics, up to 34% of British people are infected with this parasite.

Doctors have recommended that pregnant women should not play with cats because the parasite that lives in the cat's stomach can be fatal to the fetus.

Meanwhile, French scientists have collected data on human brains globally and compared them to the rates of infection. The results showed that the highest incidence of brain cancer in countries with this parasite is common.

Feredic Thomas, who led the team of scientists from the CNRS research center, said: ' Our findings have shown that the T.gondii parasite is highly carcinogenic in the brain. people. At the same time, we have also demonstrated that this parasite can cause changes in human behavior. Many other studies have also shown an association between T.gondii parasites and schizophrenia '.

The main cause of human infection is from eating unprocessed meats, such as lamb, pork, venison or water contaminated by cat feces.

In this latest study, scientists have confirmed that they have not yet been able to prove the ability to spread brain cancer bacteria in cats. But they stressed: ' We need to do more in-depth studies to find a specific link between the T.gondii parasite and brain cancer cells. At the same time, find out their mechanism of action. Perhaps this will be the opening step for finding cancer treatments '.
