The parasite T. gondii, which makes mice less fearful of cats (so they'll be eaten & complete gondii's lifecycle) may also turn humans into risk-takers. Infected humans are almost twice as likely to have set up, or be looking to set up, their own business.https://www.newscientist.com/article/2175045-business-students-more-likely-to-have-a-brain-parasite-spread-by-cats/ …
It has a range of effects depending on a person's specific biology. For instance, infected men tend to become introverted, while women become extroverted. But the effect is multidimensional and encompasses many symptoms, so it can vary wildly from person to person.
