Toxoplasma gondii parasite is found in cat feces and you can get toxoplasmosis through this parasite. Certain parasites like protozoa are transmitted via contaminated drinking water. This contamination is by fecal matter of an infected person. This mode of transmission is occurs more frequently in developing countries due to poor sanitation and bad personal hygiene. However, rural areas of the United States are not spared by protozoa infestation. Some parasites do not need to be consumed in order to be transmitted. For instance, the trematoda fluke can only be transmitted when the skin comes in contact with contaminated water. However, the most common way to getting parasitic infestation is through food consumption. Vegetables are being grown in farms that use human waste for fertilizers and unless these vegetables are thoroughly washed, you can parasitic infection by eating these contaminated vegetables. Another way of getting is from restaurants where food handlers can have fecal matter hidden under their nails even without them knowing it. Another method of transmission is through soil. There are some parasites that spend their egg stage in soil; and if you walk barefoot or sit on fecal-contaminated soil, you can get infected by parasites like hookworms or strongyloides, which penetrate the skin and then make their way to the intestine.
