An Alaskan woman--Lauren Hamm--ate a medium-rare moose steak from an animal shot by her husband in the 26th week of her pregnancy.  She gave birth prematurely at 34 weeks due to a toxoplasmosis infection--the moose had browsed an area contaminated by infected "community" cats and its tissues were in turn contaminated with T. gondii oocysts.  Lauren Hamm's son Bennett was born prematurely.  He remained in neonatal intensive care for three weeks.

Doctors said Hamm passed her infection to her unborn baby. He was born on Dec. 13, 2011, with a heart rate of 200 beats per minute. He had fluid around his organs and lesions on his eyes and brain.  He will remain at risk for blindness and grand mal seizures--for life.
