Toxoplasmosis is a debilitating disease which is suffered by those who cannot control a latent infection of toxoplasma gondii.

This is likely not you.

The behavioral changes are a different matter.

I feel that naming one specific presentation of an infection for the pathogen isn’t so tenable now that we’ve realized there are multiple presentations.

Consider, is subclinical TB not TB?
