We've been talking about this since March (off and on).
One theory is that it cures crazy cat lady disease / Democrat fever.
It's the parasite people get from cat poop.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii.[3] Infections with toxoplasmosis usually cause no obvious symptoms in adults.[2] Occasionally, people may have a few weeks or months of mild, flu-like illness such as muscle aches and tender lymph nodes.[1] In a small number of people, eye problems may develop.[1] In those with a weak immune system, severe symptoms such as seizures and poor coordination may occur.[1] If infected during pregnancy, a condition known as congenital toxoplasmosis may affect the child.[1]

Drugs in development for toxoplasmosis: advances, challenges, and current status

The penetration of Toxoplasma gondii, Sarcocystis sp., and Besnoitia jellisoni into cultured cells was significantly inhibited by 0.1 mg quinine sulfate/ml in the inoculation medium. The former 2 organisms were inhibited from penetration by as little as 0.01 mg of this drug. Incubation of either organisms or cells in medium containing quinine prior to inoculation of organisms in quinine-free medium did not significantly reduce penetration. Organisms remained motile in the presence of quinine and the few that entered cells remained intracellular. Results of this study parallel those with Eimeria and indicate that quinine interferes with a mechanism of host cell penetration common to all 4 genera.
