Toxoplasma gondii requires a meat based host, it won't affect garden
plants if its composted BEFORE planting. Don't handle $#it and food
with the same hands. You can believe your doomsday scare article about
Toxoplasma gondii, I'll let it compost naturally the way God created it
and gladly eat the vegetables that it fertilized. Same with chicken
$#it, cow $#it, horse $#it, and human $#it. Ever heard of a septic
system? Gardens grow WONDERFULLY over the septic laterals, where the
$#it eventually leaves the septic tank.

Besides if you apply manure after the plants are growing you can burn
them, thats just dumb.
If bacteria from poop were instant killers we'd all be dead, the human
race would never have moved from being hunter/gatherers. Manure is the
basis for ALL farming. Manure gets spread on fields everywhere, Humanure
included. There is no reason to be scared of poop.
There are of course prudent handling concerns, of which composting and
washing your hands are two, but theres no reason you can compost poop.
Check out the humanure handbook which is readable online.
