At least this guy will sell it to anyone.  

Is it cold.  Yes.    But it's his right

That's not at all what you did. You made an ignorant comment and when called on it, responded that it's the guy's right to charge what he wants.

It is. It's also an incredibly douchey thing for him to do, especially considering the cost of treatment many of those with toxoplasmosis are already having to shoulder. And it's also an ignorant comment from you because it has nothing to do with being careless. Unless you're saying people with cancer and similar diseases where treatment weakens the immune system are bringing is on themselves.
