Toxic Plasmosis and pregnancy
Question:
Many thanks to all who helped us with this quest for knowledge. We have learned a LOT from the posts AND from the URLs which were supplied. I used to think the Internet only made pornography travel at the speed of light, but now I know it is a useful tool as well. (I was a useful tool at one time, but now I am just a tool +ACE-) +AD0-) At least I have the peace of mind knowing that my wife will not leave me since I am the only one who can clean out the litter boxes+ACE- (Who’d ever think it would take a pile of poop to convince such a wonderful woman to keep me?)

Response:
Toxoplasmosis is a disease produced bya parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, very common in the cat, that is a intermediate host. It can be transmitted trough contact with the feces of a infected cat. This is not as difficult as it seems, the cat can leave rests in its hair and when you touch it and later move your hands to your mouth, it can be transmitted. However, if the woman has already been in contact with the parasite before the pregnancy, she would have developed inmune response against the toxoplasma and the phetus is out of danger. The way you can know if this had happened is a serologic test. In some countries is a routinary test in pregnant women. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Aloha… >my wife and I adopted a kitten yesterday from an animal adoption group. >My wife is approaching her 5th month of pregnancy.

hello, toxoplasmosis is caused by a small parasite,one cell large. a person can be infected when he comes in contact with female faecas: changing the litter box or working in a garden where a cat ‘goes to the bathroom’.when he is infected, he can have symptoms like headache and fever for a short time, but it is also possible that he doesn’t notice anything. after the first infection,a person is immune. when a women is pregnant and is infected for the first time, the foetus can be ill.if the women is immune,there is no really isk for the baby. a doctor can test a womens blood to see if she is immune.if not, she can be vaccinated, to be sure in case of a next pregnancy. there is no need to worry for your wife.she just has to make sure not to come in contact with female faeces, or to wear gloves and wash them after working in the garden for example.but she can still pet the cat! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Aloha… > my wife and I adopted a kitten yesterday from an animal adoption group. > My wife is approaching her 5th month of pregnancy.

I’ve included below an info sheet written by David Thomas of. It’s "toxoplasmosis", not "toxic plasmosis". Scott Panzer Silicon Valley Friends of Ferals Humane stray cat population control through spay and neuter The parasite is called Toxoplasma gondii, the disease is called toxoplasmosis. Litter boxes are just one way of getting it and not the most likely way, at that. Cats get it from eating small animals. If your cats are kept indoors, you are much more likely to contract toxoplasmosis by handling raw meat or consuming undercooked meat than by handling a litter box. Toxoplasmosis is almost non-existant in cats who are not allowed to hunt outdoors and who are fed a diet of commercial cat food. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed no correlation between cat ownership and infection with toxoplasmosis. The good news is that people (and cats) that have had the disease develop immunity and cannot get it again. Most cats are never ill with the disease and the period during which they are infectious to humans (through eggs shed in the feces) is very brief, usually in the first 2-3 weeks of infection. In humans, the disease is usually dismissed as a cold, so most people don’t know if they have had it or not. Your wife can have *herself* tested to determine if she already has antibodies to the disease, indicating that she has already had it. Pregnant women who test negative for antibodies to the disease should minimize their chances of exposure by taking the following precautions: + Only eat thoroughly cooked or processed meat (the incidence of toxoplasmosis cysts in meat in the US is about 1%). + Avoid raw milk (especially from goats). + Wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat and uncooked home-raised vegetables. + Wear gloves when gardening and wash your hands thoroughly after handling any soil (the T. gondii organism is found in the soil). + Prevent cats from defecating in children’s sand boxes. + Keep your cats indoors to prevent hunting (the primary source of infection in cats is small birds, rodents, and reptiles). + Feed your cats only processed meats (canned or dry cat food). + Have someone else (this means you) change the litter box daily. (The T. gondii oocysts must sporulate before they become infectious; this process takes several days. By discarding the litter daily, any oocysts which might be present are not allowed to become infectious.) + Discard litter in sealed plastic bags–don’t bury it in the garden.

First, it’s *toxoplasmosis*. You can find information on it using most any search engine. Two examples: http://www.fabcats.org/is13.html http://www.naturesrecipe.com/cats/felinetoxoplas.htm Toxoplasmosis is an intestinal parasite. If you have strictly indoor cats, it is highly unlikely they would be have it (assuming you don’t have mice, etc, the cats could eat). – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Aloha… >my wife and I adopted a kitten yesterday from an animal adoption group. >My wife is approaching her 5th month of pregnancy.
