Toxoplasmosis - Pregnancy and Cats
Are you pregnant or plan to become pregnant and own one or more cats? Then please read on, it might save your baby’s life!
Toxoplasmosis is what you need to learn about. If you have not had an exposure to Toxoplasmosis before your pregnancy, Toxoplasmosis can harm your unborn baby. Cats can be the natural host; however you can also catch the bacteria from undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables or even while out in your garden planting flowers.
You can get tested during your pregnancy, just to make sure.
Avoid cleaning the litter box(es) while you are pregnant, because this where the bacteria lives, or wear at least some gloves. Also make sure you cook your meat thoroughly, wash your veggies and fruits, and also wear gloves while gardening.
