How to Prevent Infection from Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis is an disease caused by a minute parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. It is present in many warm-blooded animals, but has only been found to recreate in the center of kitties. When sickness occurs, it is usually light with "flu-like" symptoms that last for several weeks and then go away.

Steps

1. Do not eat raw or fresh various foods, and make sure that meals are well prepared. This is especially important if you are expecting.

2. Remove or clean fruits and veggies thoroughly before consuming.

3. Wash your hands soon after handling raw foods, fruits and veggies to prevent growing any possible disease. Worktops and blades should also be cleaned instantly subsequently.

4. Use rubberized safety gloves when cleaning out the trash plate. If you're expecting it may be advisable to ask someone else to do this for you. The trash plate should also be thoroughly cleaned and cleaned out often.

5. Clean up any cat waste as soon as possible. The parasite does not become contagious until 1-5 times after it is shed in a pet's waste.

6. Use safety gloves when farming. This will prevent any hand-to-mouth disease from infected ground.

7. Avoid providing kitties raw various foods or without treatment dairy - this is one way that they can catch toxoplasmosis.

8. Lock up various foods for several times before cooking to decrease a chance of disease.

9. Avoid consuming without treatment water.

Tips

Antibiotic treatment can decrease these risks if the disease is recognized early.
Do not get a new cat while you are expecting.
Do not follow or handle wander kitties, especially cats.
Pregnant women need to be particularly careful to prevent the disease, as there is a 40% risk that it could affect the unborn child, causing possible vision problems later in life.
