09:14 < fenn> why isn't there a vaccine against toxoplasma?

10:12 < yashgaroth> intracellular parasites are difficult to vaccine against; if there ain't a vaccine for malaria, there sure ain't gonna be one for toxo when it has only marginal negative effects in humans

11:06 < kanzure> when i was a kid, all i wanted to do when i grew up was be an intracellular parasite
11:16 < L29Ah> when i was a kid, all i wanted to do when i grew up was be an interstellar parasite
11:21 < kanzure> how's that working out for you?
11:22 < kanzure> yashgaroth: can't you do a bacteriophage therapy of some kind?
11:29 < fenn> humans seroconvert to toxoplasma and apparently it prevents infection
11:30 < fenn> so i'd think a vaccine would work
11:30 < fenn> i wonder about mental illness caused by toxoplasma
12:27 < nsh> .wik Tosoplasmosis
12:27 < saxo> "Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Infections with toxoplasmosis usually cause no obvious symptoms in adults." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis
12:27 < nsh> gives you superpowers
12:27 < nsh> that is marginally decreases risk aversion
12:27 < nsh> so you spread them lurgs betterer
12:27 < L29Ah> proof or it causes intelligent humans to become normies
12:27 < nsh> also kills you if you have HIV
12:27 < nsh> or AIDS rather
12:28 < nsh> occasionally
12:29 < nsh> --
12:29 < nsh> Differences in behavior between infected and uninfected subjects were also examined using a panel of simple behavioral tests. For example, experiments designed to measure suspiciousness rated the person's willingness to taste a strange liquid, to let one's wallet be controlled by the experimenter, and to put one's signature on an empty sheet of paper. Similarly, experiments designed to measure self-control rated whether the person came early or late for
12:29 < nsh> the testing, how accurate the person's guess was as to the contents of his or her own wallet, the time used to answer the computerized questionnaire, and the person's knowledge of social etiquette. The composite behavioral factors Self-Control and Clothes Tidiness, analogous to Cattell factors Q3 (perfectionism) and G (superego strength), showed a significant effect of the toxoplasmosis–gender interaction, with infected men scoring significantly lowe
12:29 < nsh> r than uninfected men and a trend in the opposite direction for women. The effect of the toxoplasmosis–gender interaction on the composite behavioral variable “Relationships” (analogous to factor A, warmth) approached significance; infected men scored significantly lower than uninfected men, whereas there was no difference among women.9 All ratings were done by raters blind to the person's T. gondii infection status.

12:29 < nsh> lol @ behavioural variable 'relationships'
12:31 < nsh> conclusion of article: science is hard herpsaderps
13:00 < fenn> now i want to get involved in measuring peoples' suspiciousness
13:01 < fenn> that sounds endlessly entertaining

15:27 < lsneff> Is toxoplasmosis associated with liking cats?
16:16 < jrayhawk> that's one of the hypotheses
16:17 < jrayhawk> unfortunately the evidence for all of that is observational and inconsistent
16:17 < L29Ah> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3497129/
16:18 < L29Ah> the first scientific article google shoves at me when i google for toxoplasmosis liking cats correlation

17:07 < yashgaroth> kanzure, bacteriophages won't be able to attack the bacteria if they're hidden inside a host cell; a theoretical vaccine would be more effective since you'd have antibodies floating around to hopefully deactivate the bacteria before they get inside your cells, whereas phage therapy only has a limited window before your body attacks the phages
