Answer 1

Well I have been studing this to adn for all I know it's a microscopic parasite that generally grows under the skin and it crawls inside the skin and start feeding on the blood so it can spread more micro. parasites. When it get under the skin it would be small or like a medium size circle that would be red adn it would iritate the skin really bad to the point where the animal or human would be itching it. To get it taken care of if you pet has Toxoplasmaosis go see the vet imeditly and if you or some one you know has it go see the Dr. and or tell that person or people that have it to go see the Dr. imeditly because it's a serious parasite that can really damage you body and it's imunsystem really bad. I know this because I did a lot of reasearch on it even though I'm only 14 I know for sure.

AH! this question has parasites! Get them off! Ah!!!! human beings think of their habit is punctiliously lower than their rational administration. the conception of a fungi crawling into your mind and replacing your habit is ideal out of Nineteen Fifties horror videos.
