That’s a new one on me. l’d heard of toxoplasmosis, but always in connection with cats. A quick Google suggests that - even if contracted from venison - good ol’ Tibbles was the source:
“...field study in Northeast Ohio, Ballash and colleagues found that more than 50 percent of 444 deer and 200 cats tested positive for toxoplasma. Deer are most likely to be infected in areas with abundant free-roaming cat populations.
The cat-deer-toxoplasma connection is yet another reason that all cats should be kept indoors. It is unlikely that indoor cats will eat infected mice or other small mammals, so their risk of infection is very low.”
