The Toxoplasma parasite can be transmitted through contaminated food,  water, and kitchen utensils as well as contact with infected cat feces. While 60 million Americans carry the parasite with no symptoms, it can become deadly for those with weakened immune systems.&quot;<p>&quot;&quot;Turing has not got a single clinical trial underway. Shkreli’s not testing new drugs of any kind for toxoplasmosis. He&#x27;s got nothing registered,&quot; Attaran said. &quot;No one needs a new drug for toxoplasmosis anyways.
