Toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii)

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a tiny parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. It's commonly found in cat feces, contaminated soil, or undercooked meat. While many people experience mild or no symptoms, it can cause flu-like symptoms in others. Pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems are at risk, as the infection can lead to serious complications. Most healthy individuals recover without treatment, but it’s essential to practice good hygiene, especially around cats, and cook meat properly to prevent infection.
