While the parasite is found throughout the world, more than 40 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma parasite.

Once a diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is confirmed, you and your health care provider can discuss whether treatment is necessary. In an otherwise healthy person who is not pregnant, treatment usually is not needed. If symptoms occur, they typically go away within a few weeks to months. For pregnant women or persons who have weakened immune systems, medications are available to treat toxoplasmosis.

Maybe we should make it more of a priority to treat it rather than be all "Meh. Not symptomatic. Moving on."
