Blood test for Toxoplasma exposure, a parasite often linked to contact with cat litter, raw or undercooked meat, or unwashed produce. Aimed at people who may have been exposed, including those who are pregnant or immunocompromised.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Toxoplasma is a parasite that can be picked up from undercooked meat, unwashed produce, or contact with cat faeces, and testing is generally suggested for people who may have been exposed, including those who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or have a weakened immune system. This test looks for exposure to the parasite from a blood sample taken at a Better2Know clinic.
We have no directly comparable tests in our records for this one, but at £195 it sits well above the £129 median for the immunity and infection tests we track, roughly half as much again. It only tests for one marker, which the scoring reflects with a below-average mark for clinical depth relative to other immunity tests.
It scores well for clarity, since Better2Know publishes a full description, sample type, collection details and turnaround. It scores lower for results and follow-up, because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard; Better2Know says it will contact you within three days of reporting if your result is positive.
This is worth considering if you think you may have been exposed to Toxoplasma, for example through undercooked meat, unwashed fruit or vegetables, or contact with cat litter, or if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or living with a weakened immune system. Because it costs more than the typical immunity test we track and only covers this one marker, it is best used when you have a specific reason to test for this infection rather than as a general health check. If you develop symptoms, or test positive, the guidance is to speak to a GP or the doctor Better2Know arranges for you.
A clinician takes a blood sample from your arm at a Better2Know clinic, which is sent to the lab for analysis; results are typically available the next working day. Results are uploaded to your online Patient Area, and you are notified by phone, email or text. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, but if your result is positive, Better2Know says it will contact you within three days of reporting to discuss next steps with a doctor.
A clinic blood draw checks for Toxoplasma exposure, with results back the next working day. At £195 it costs more than the £129 median we see across the immunity and infection tests we track, and it has no doctor review built in. There are no comparable tests in our records to weigh it against directly.
