100% concur cloz. Interestingly, most toxoplasmosis in Americans comes from eating contaminated meats. Almost 1/3 of us in the US have antibodies demonstrating previous exposure. Female immigrants to the US who are naive to exposure (& do not carry antibodies) & get exposed during pregnancy have the highest risk of complications to them & their offspring.
Almost seems another case in point arguing for eating that dirt while one is young & healthy.
