You should have done more looking up about toxoplasmosis before starting this subthread. Toxoplasmosis is mostly a food-borne illness, worldwide, and especially in the United States is spread mostly by undercooked food.[1] In any event, the great majority of people infected with this parasite have no symptoms from the infection. (This is true of many infectious diseases; human beings have a well adapted immune system with a deep evolutionary history now that we and our ancestors have been living for millions of years in a world filled with other organisms. Malaria deserves special attention because the parasite is especially harmful to human beings.)
