Brain parasites, like Toxoplasma gondii, are very real and more widespread than commonly thought, with 11% of the U.S. population having been infected according to the CDC.
Toxoplasma gondii infects not just humans but a wide range of animals, with infection often higher in regions with hot, humid climates and lower altitudes.
Apart from Toxoplasma gondii, other brain parasites such as cerebral malaria, neurocysticercosis, neuroschistosomiasis, and tapeworms can infect the human nervous system, each with potential serious consequences.
Naegleria fowleri, known as the 'brain eating amoeba,' poses a threat as it lives in warm fresh water sources like lakes and rivers, emphasizing the importance of water safety precautions.
