This is the 3rd video in a 4-part series on toxoplasmosis. If you missed the first two, start with Toxoplasmosis: A Manipulative Foodborne Brain Parasite (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/toxoplasmosis-a-manipulative-foodborne-brain-parasite) and Long-Term Effects of Toxoplasmosis Brain Infection (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/long-term-effects-of-toxoplasmosis-brain-infection).
 
I dropped a few hints in this video (e.g. infections in muscle tissue), but stay tuned tuned for the finale, How to Prevent Toxoplasmosis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-toxoplasmosis).
