Parasite in Mom Promotes Birth of Boy

Here's a line of thought.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

A single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii causes a disease known as toxoplasmosis.

And, the infection by Toxoplasma gondii in humans is caused by:

Accidentally swallowing cat feces from a Toxoplasma-infected cat that is shedding the organism in its feces.

Given those two scientific nuggets, check out this report from The South Asian Women's Forum (SAWF).

While expecting mothers may hardly have any preferences for blue or pink researchers have now found that the presence of a particular parasite called Toxoplasma gondii can increase the likelihood of a woman having a baby boy.

Consequently, I've been toying with the idea of opening up a shop. Kitty's Tea & Dumplings might be a success if sandwiched between the bridal shoppe and Lane Bryant. The location would guarantee some traffic from mothers-to-be and also mothers-in-law wanting grandsons. Seeking venture capital.

It's not necessarily a good line of thought.
