" Question I suffer from toxoplasmosis. Are there any known cures or treatments?   Answer There are several forms of toxoplasmosis and in an adult it is usually fairly mild.  A tiny creature called &amp;#039;Toxoplasma gondii&amp;#039; causes the condition. It requires both a host such as cat, sheep or pig, and an intermediate host such as a human, in order to complete its lifecycle. Human infection is through either eating contaminated lamb or pork, or food contaminated by infected cat faeces.  Cats that kill mice and birds are the chief source of the infection, so particular care should be taken in handling their faeces.  The condition is particularly relevant to pregnant women &amp;amp;#8211; severe and life-threatening malformations can result when it is passed to the developing foetus.  Prevention is therefore important. Treatment in adults is usually unnecessary. Most forms of the disease are relatively mild. Pyrimethamine and sulphadiazine can be used together in severe cases, and treatment lasts a month. This treatment cannot be used in pregnancy so an alternative used is spiramycin.  These remedies are given under careful medical supervision.
