Old news.
There were reports many years ago about a parasite which needs rats and cats to complete it's lifecycle. It modifies the brains of rats, making them take more risks, so increasing the chance that the rat will be caught and eaten by a cat.
If memory serves, a study of people who were into high risk sports or who behaved in other risky ways (speeding leading to accidents) also found the same parasite in a large number of them.
