New studies have shown that Toxoplasma gondii may be the most infectious parasite in the entire world, with up to 50% of people infected.
Toxoplasma gondii has been around for decades. In fact, studies as early as the 1970s put a possible infection rate at around 30 percent of people.

Cats are the primary host of Toxoplasma. As such, they are one of the biggest causes of the parasite’s spread. Cats catch Toxoplasma from infected prey they eat. This can include smaller rodents and other things. This is how humans pick up the parasite. Because they lodge in the muscles, the parasites can survive in the animals even after we slaughter them for meat. Then, when humans eat that meat, they can become infected by the parasite. Additionally, if the parasite infects a woman for the first time during pregnancy, she can pass the infection on to her unborn child.Make sure to cook meats to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to kill any traces of the parasite.
