So... speaking of eating cats and my original problem with Toxoplasmosis.
The VAST majority of cats have been infected with Toxo when they were young. After a short time, they build a resistance to the toxo which then migrates to organs and muscle tissue, developing cysts of dormant toxo thingymajigs. When actively infected (toxo breeding in cats gut, which is the only host it can complete its life cycle in), the (usually) young cat spreads toxo everywhere in it's scat.
Point being, you can get infected with toxo from eating meat with cysts in it. The only way to kill the dormant toxo in the cysts is to freeze or cook it to above 68C. Eating cat jerky will most likely infect you with toxo.
Symptoms in humans are not severe unless you are immunocompromised, or a pregneant/soon-to-be-pregnant woman. In preganat women it can cause miscarriage or physical/mental retardation in the baby.
Grazing animals can also pick up toxo from infected feed (contaminated with cat [usually kittens] poo). It causes pregnant animals to abort, still birth or animals are born alive but weak and with an inability to suckle and so die soon after. This has happened with goats in one of our paddocks in the last 2 kidding seasons and recently happened with a ewe that lambed out of season.
An estimated %50 of adult humans have been infected with toxo at some point in their life and have dormant cysts somewhere in their body. After initial infection and flu like symptoms subside, the parasite goes dormant and the host (YOU) develop a resistance to any further infections by toxoplasma gondii.
Still.... don't eat cats, man!
(unless they are very well cooked or have been fully frozen for a period of time)
