Pregnancy & Pets: Understanding Toxoplasmosis Risks


Question
Is it true that when a woman is pregnant she should not be cleaning a cat's litter box.

Tks,

Answer
Yes it is true if you can avoid it, don't.  If you have to wear a mask and gloves.
If you have been around cats your whole life you are probably immune to toxoplasmosis. (the reason you want to avoid liter)
Your Dr. can test you and see if you are immune.
Good luck to you and Congrats!
