Q: does toxoplasmosis have to be treated if you have a healthy immune system? im staring down the barrel of to seek treatment or not because of the treatment cost, but i have no preexisting health conditions and i have a normal immune system?

: You do not need treatment if you are asymptomatic. By UPTODATE: acute toxoplasmosis is typically self-limited, and most immunocompetent, nonpregnant adults do not require treatment.
