Getting rid of toxoplasmosis?
After reading about the possible personality changes from toxoplasma gondii, e.g. from Wikipedia, or other news sources, I’d like to know more.

How can a person get rid of a chronic infection, and undo the changes? The
CDC website says no treatment is generally needed. Is there a way to get rid of a chronic toxoplasma gondii infection?

This older news article says that the infection is for life, but the newer one linked above says that rats in the experiment were given drugs to get rid of it? Is that possible in humans?
