[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 682979, member: 1963"] Let me correct that. T.gondii encysts in muscle tissue, that's how rodents and undercooked meat spread it. cysts are also shed in the feces, which is how humans are infected by cats. I supposed that if one ate an infected human, there would be muscle cysts that would be infective provided the human muscle tissue was not properly cooked. Given the fairly universal taboo against eating human flesh, at least in the Western world, I would suspect that that mode of transmission is rare. Cattle and other meat animals get it by ingesting rodent feces while grazing. [/QUOTE]
