How long do the effects of Toxoplasmosis last in humans?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I don’t know very much about it, and I have no idea how long symptoms usually last, but I do know: It is it’s very dangerous for pregnant women to get it, because they can pass it to the fetus. Also, adults often have no symptoms, but can get severe symptoms. I think there is treatment for it if you think you have it. I don’t know if it is anti-parasitics or just symptom treatment. If you think you have it I would go to the doctor, have it diagnosed, and ask the doctor what to expect. Many illnesses have similar symptoms.
