This creature may be responsible for 30% of the world population being angry all day

A type of parasite in the brain can make you unable to control your anger, as always as if you want to explode.

A type of parasite in the brain can make you unable to control your anger, as always as if you want to explode.

Who doesn't get angry and lacks control? However, if you often lose control, let " the mouth go away " with violent acts taking place at a high frequency, the problem is no longer simple.

According to scientists from the University of Chicago (USA), people who are often out of control of behavior may be suffering from a continuous disorder syndrome (Intermittent Explosive Disorder - IED). And one of the causes of this syndrome may come from a type of parasite in the human brain, called " arched worm " - toxoplasma gondii .

This parasite is relatively common. The host of T.gondii is a cat, but it can spread to other animals - of course humans. According to statistics, about 30% of the world's population has this organism in their brain.

Usually, T.gondii does not cause any harm to adults. However, this is the first time scientists have found an association between the IED disorder and the parasite.

More specifically, tests on 358 people with IED show up to 22% of curvature infections. Moreover, these people have a higher level of disorder than non-infected people.

According to Dr. Emil Coccaro - research director - it is still not clear whether the cause is the cause of the IED or vice versa, or that both have reciprocal relations. " Our research shows that toxoplasmosis can cause biochemical reactions in the brain, while enhancing violent behaviors in humans, " said Dr.

T.gondii is transmitted from cats to humans by eating uncooked meat , drinking contaminated water , or by contacting cat feces . Although there is no evidence yet, T.gondii is thought to be related to schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in some cases.

The study was published in Clinical Psychiatry.
