I look forward to your opinions.
Most people who've been infected with the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis show no signs or symptoms. People who develop symptoms may experience: a fever. swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck . Some people who have toxoplasmosis may feel as if they have the “flu” with swollen lymph glands or muscle aches and pains that may last for a month or more

I think the symptoms are similar to mild flu symptoms that last for a few days, and most people recover from it normally. Even if you consult your doctor, you may first diagnose the disease as flu unless you have blood tests.
In young cats it can be presented myocarditis, myositis and encephalitis (Acha and Szyfres, 2003). The formation of cysts tissue in brain, liver, spleen, heart, tongue (Dubey et al., 2007) and skeletal muscle (Dubey et al., 2007) in infected cats naturally they constitute the injury main in the chronic phase of the toxoplasmosis.
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite. This parasite is called Toxoplasma gondii. It can be found in cat feces and undercooked meat, especially venison, lamb, and pork. It can also be transmitted through contaminated water. Toxoplasmosis can be deadly or cause serious birth defects for a fetus if the mother becomes infected. This is why doctors recommend against pregnant woman scooping or cleaning cat litter boxes.
Most people who have toxoplasmosis never have any symptoms at all. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 60 million people in the United States are infected with the parasite. The people who are most at risk for serious infections are those with compromised immune systems and infants born to mothers with active infection during their pregnancy.
