An actual doctor wrote:Dear Venty,

The person who is "not too bright" would be you. I explained above the myriad ways you could get toxo in an area, Europe, where large numbers of the population have antibodies to toxo, indicating past exposure. The vast majority do not develop clinical disease

moron

if you actually had a clue about toxo, the affliction of adult population means nothing

it is acquirement of debilatating disease in his his 20s which shocks anyone with clue about toxoplasmosis

it doesn't afflict an adult unless exposed to

HUGE

it needs

exposure to afflict a fit guy

Or perhaps you would prefer to believe he has AIDS to account for an immune deficiency

drivel

but he shouda been damn fuucking cautious in early/mid-'80s

they didn't screen for it back then & only seriously last 15 - 20y

he's still alive so obviously no BAD illness

however

TOXOPLASMOSIS
