It was only when the other woman got pregnant that any problem actually arose.
The mother felt that having a feline around would increase the risk of her daughter gettingtoxoplasmosisduring pregnancy.
To get an experts opinion on this situation,Bored Pandareached out toDr.
Lora Shahine, MD.
The concern with cats is their litter, which can contain the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis.
The risk of contracting toxoplasmosis from cats is relatively low, especially if you follow good hygiene practices.
The parasiteToxoplasma gondiithat causes toxoplasmosis can be found in cat feces, but not all cats carry it.
The infection is most likely to be present in outdoor cats that hunt and consume raw meat.
Indoor cats that are fed commercial cat food and dont hunt are much less likely to carry the parasite.
The incidence of atoxoplasmosis infectionduring pregnancy in the United States is estimated to be just between 0.2-1.0%.
