Description
Toxocariasis is a parasitic disease caused by the Toxocara canis parasite - found in dogs and foxes, and the Toxocara cati parasite - found in cats. As these hosts are not common in such underground areas, players don't need to worry about contracting this disease. This specific underground area however, has always been a target for new visitors, and not much effort was put in to clean up the area. Hence, the area won't remain 100% parasite free.

This area contains three chambers utilizing new mechanics such as the Reflection Gel, Conveyor Belt, and Futbol. All three chambers are of easy-medium and medium difficulty.

A walkthrough is available for anyone having trouble completing the level. Video courtesy of KLJF22.

A: A few hours.

Q: How did you make this level?
A: Portal 2 Puzzle Creator.

Q: Etymology of the level name?
A: "Toxocariasis" is a parasitic disease caused by the Toxocara canis - found in dogs and foxes, and Toxocara cati - found in cats, parasites. This disease was featured on the documentary "Monsters Inside Me". So yeah.

Q: If this is a PTI map, how did you make the thumbnail a custom one instead of the Puzzle Creator view or the view after entering the chamber?
A: Rebuild and look at the console. Check what is the name of the latest screenshot taken after you enter the chamber. Pause Portal 2 and go to the screenshots folder in Portal 2/portal2/screenshots and replace the latest screenshot with your custom one. Go back to Portal 2 and publish it. There you go.

I accidentaly softlocked in the third test chamber by bringing the ball in the excursion funnel after going down the stairs. Please fix this.

Welp, I can no longer use quick play because of this map. After the game crashes, quick play brings me back to it again, and it crashes again. Can't see a way to skip it.

This is also crashing Portal 2 on Linux for me. I tried running with the developer console open without any difference. Is there a way to skip this map?

I got stuck the same way Poison Dart Frog did. A button to respawn the ball would solve it.
