Cats cause schizophrenia?

Some scientists suspect cats can cause mental illness in people鈥?Toxoplasma gondii, commonly found in cat feces, contaminated water, and undercooked meat, has been implicated in some cases of schizophrenia. Alan S. Brown, a Columbia University professor of psychiatry and epidemiology, has found a 2.6 times greater prevalence of schizophrenia in people exposed to 鈥榯oxo鈥?in utero.

Anyone heard of this? what are your thoughts? im really interested cause i think i may have it, and i was SERIOUSLY exposed to cats when younger, all my life i been around cats, and there was a room in my house that was for cats so cat feces was really smelling up the house. i believe my entire family has it in some form.

DON'T WORRY MAN.
that's one new excuse for doctors for not finding the real cause for schizo,its just a lame hypothesis .
you should only worry if you had a twin with schizo.
Sorry, I haven't heard this before and I am not familiar with the symptoms of toxoplasmosis, but certainly there can be some alternate routes to symptom development in exceptional cases. If the symptoms of the the disease overlap with those of schizophrenia, it may be the cause in some cases, but it would likely be the exception rather than the rule. If you have concerns, see you doc and I'm sure they can test for the presence of toxoplasma gondii.
I am sorry, as this is unrelated to your question, but I just felt the need to say that the previous response to your question from someone with anti-psychiatry agenda has to be one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever had the misfortune to read and I hope that most intelligent people will disregard the nonsense found there.
