This article does have a lot of fearmongering, but it is really important to be clear that pregnant women do need to take care, especially during their 3rd trimester. I'm a fairly lucky victim of toxoplasmosis - I'm legally blind in one eye because the parasite rampaged through the retina with the end result being a lot of scar tissue and only a little peripheral vision left. Tangential to this, it's amazing how far technology has come. I was diagnosed in the mid-80s, and that required going to a hospital that had specialists and the necessary equipment to take pictures of the retina, and the entire process took the better part of a day (waiting for the pictures to develop took quite a bit of that time, of course). By the late 90s, a few optometrists were getting the necessary equipment to do this during a normal eye exam, although it still required drops to dilate the pupils. Today many optometrists have equipment that don't require dilation and since they're using digital cameras, they can look at results immediately.
