A member asked:

I'm pregnant, not immune to toxoplasmosis.i was eating pork loin & i saw part of it was raw. i cut this part out and ate only the cooked part.is it ok?

Need testing: Impossible to know whether toxoplasma gondii was present or infected you without testing you for antibodies. If you are pregnant and seeing an OB doctor you may have already been tested and if you had antibodies then your fetus is safe.
