Hello
It seems from the history that you are having toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis once it is acquired remains dormant to become activated later.
Hence you require evaluation by investigations to find the titre values of toxoplasma by blood tests.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
