  Incorrect.

  Yes, healthy people hardly ever notice the disease. However, the infection can have serious consequences for them if their immune system is weakened, for example if they have an organ transplant or if they contract AIDS. The parasite can then become active again and cause brain inflammation.

  If the mother becomes infected with this pathogen during pregnancy, it can be transmitted to the unborn child, and the unborn child also becomes infected and suffers developmental disorders. This leads to the unborn child being born deformed or a miscarriage occurring.

    Cool story. But again, 25% of all population are infected. And side effects are pretty much non existent.

        If it was even remotely serious, Germans would do something about it. But it’s not.
