Cats, Toxoplasmosis and Pregnancy

11/3/2018

Often my patients ask me about the risks to pregnancy from having cats as household pets. They are concerned about contracting toxoplasmosis and its effect on their unborn baby. So just how risky is it to have these furry felines around during your pregnancy?

Do cats cause Toxoplasmosis?
Toxoplasmosis is a common infection and can affect up to 50% of the population in some countries. A common source of the infection is the faeces of cats. Cat faeces may contain a parasite called toxoplasma gondii which causes toxoplasmosis.
Symptoms of Toxoplasmosis may include:

Flu-like symptoms
High temperature
Sore throats
Aching muscles

In most cases, Toxoplasmosis is a mild condition that does not cause any symptoms. However, Toxoplasmosis can have devastating effects to an unborn baby, even if the mother doesn’t have any symptoms. Some of the effects of toxoplasmosis includes:

Miscarriage
Abnormalities of retina and blindness
Brain damage and mental retardation
Premature birth
Deafness
Intellectual disability
Liver damage

Despite the above, it is safe to be around cats during the pregnancy, but be very cautious.
Do not clean the cat litter tray or any cat faeces. If you must do it then make sure to wear gloves and wash your hands several times using soap and water. Ensure you use a hand sanitiser after washing.
Cats are not the only risk for contracting toxoplasmosis
You can also pick up toxoplasmosis from soil and raw meat. Pregnant women should be vigilant in remembering to:

Wash fruits and vegetables carefully before eating
Avoid raw or undercooked meat
Washing hands:
- After playing and petting dogs, cats and other animals
- After contact with any bodily fluids
- Before eating, or before and after preparing food.
Always wear gloves for gardening
Avoid drinking unpasteurised goat’s milk

Concerned you may be exposed?
If you're worried you may have been exposed to toxoplasmosis, ask your obstetrician about taking a blood test to find out whether you're immune to the disease. If you've been around cats for a while, you may already have had toxoplasmosis. And if that's the case, you have nothing to worry about: You won't get it again, and your unborn baby won't be at risk.

MOST POWERFUL AND TRUSTED LOVE SPELL CASTER 2022

Hello ladies and gentlemen Happy New Year. I went to respect you and your spells. I must make this testimony known to all. I've been to other spell casters without seeing any result. I just wished I came to you earlier, I got the best from you. My ex husband was gone for a year and I went everywhere and other spell casters for help but no result until my friend introduced me to Dr. Jumba after the Love Spell was done, I finally got a call from him. His spells worked wonders and my husband is back full of love. It's a miracle! He suddenly came back with flowers saying that i should forgive him, i was truly flabbergasted and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I'm really short of words and joyful, you are a God sent to me and my entire family.. And now I am a joyful woman once again. Thank you so much Dr. Jumba To everyone who is looking for a real spell caster should contact Dr Jumba directly on his Email : wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com or wiccalovespelltools@yahoo.com see more reviews about him on his website: https://drjumbaspellhome.wordpress.com WhatsApp: +1 (908) 517-4108

I remember one day I sat down and counted all the men I have met in my life and I felt so small because I know I am not perfect but I give all I can to the man aiming to remain with him but at the end of the day I remained alone. Men could come and go and I couldn't see the money I was working for being paid a good salary but I couldn't prosper when the time came that I failed to put bread on the table. My friend Totty Brobyn advised me to contact Dr Azuka +2349166175418 for a special prayer of cleansing. Dr Azuka advised me that I must do a cleansing prayer to take away all the bad luck and genealogical curse which were following me, we did the prayer online since I was far from him. It took me three days to realize changes in my life. I was promoted at work, my boyfriend also came back to me and proposed to me we have been together for two years now and things are fine. We are preparing for our wedding this December. I know that prayers work and I strongly believe the prayers of dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com helped me to regain my happiness thanks, Dr Azuka.

Getting back my ex lover was never easy until I read good reviews about Dr Paul love spell portion. My Boyfriend left the house without a note or a word and never returned or replies to my text. I tried all possible means to reach out to him but nothing i was depressed and devastated because I and my lover had just a baby together. It became more horrible when I found out he was seeing another lady in our neighborhood. I tried many two online spell casters they couldn’t help me out until last month my colleague at work told me about Dr Paul love spell and I decided to give it a trial i contacted this love spell caster he told me what to do i did everything and he told me in less than 24 hours my lover will be back to me. Like a dream come true it worked for me and my lover texted me and returned home, no stress No side effects. I will want anyone here having relationship/marriage issues should contact Dr Paul now.

Am writing this article to thank Dr. Jumba, the powerful spell caster that helped me recently to bring back my ex lover that left me for another woman for no reason for the past 8 years. After seeing a post on the internet by Jenna from the USA saying how she was helped by Dr. Jumba, I also decided to contact him for help because I had no choice. All I wanted was for me to get my lover back and happiness. To my greatest surprise my lover came home on his knees that i should find a place in my heart to forgive him, I was truly astonished and shocked when my lover knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back. I am really short of expressions, and I don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr. Jumba. You are a God sent to restore a broken relationship, And now I'm a joyful woman. his contact details are; wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com Whatsapp number +27651108524 .

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

He Kissed Me Like I Was His Sister, and I Knew I Was Alone Again.
I knew I’d never stopped being alone in the first place…
…and maybe I never would.
Just two weeks ago he’d been chasing me like he was a hunter and I was the prize he’d been searching for his entire life.
“You’re so beautiful,” John would text me out of nowhere in the middle of the day.

A smile would bloom on my face.

I’d blush. I’d feel this heat in my chest and this wonderful, terrible hope growing in me. I’d feel myself start to fall…

“I could fall in love with you,” he whispered after the first time we “made love,” “had sex,” “hooked up.”

Whatever you want to call it, it was amazing.
I wanted him from the very first moment we met, but I made him wait. I wanted him to feel like he “earned” me.

But it was our fourth date and we were kissing on the couch…

And I inhaled the good masculine smell of him and felt the strength in his arms…

And I felt so safe and protected and desired…

And afterwards we lay there tangled in each other.

He ran his fingers through my hair…

As I lay my head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat, I let myself believe in some way that maybe, just maybe, it was beating for me…
And we had two perfect weeks before “you know what” happened.
Two perfect weeks of flirty and sexy texts and laughing in bed and talking in vague terms about the soft-focus far-off future…
Letting the walls I’d built around my heart – brick after bitter brick – start to fall.
And then… “you know what” happened.
Twenty passionate texts a day turned to ten boring ones.

And “I can’t wait to see you,” turned to “I’ve been really busy with work.”

And then suddenly, like a bad nightmare I’d had again and again and again…

I was the one chasing him and feeling disgusting and hating myself for it.

And then we got coffee and the table between us felt like the Grand Canyon.

And while he used to pull me towards him, pick me up in his arms and kiss me like a movie star.

He just bent down a little and kissed me like his sister and walked away a ghost.
And I knew I would never hear from him again. Bring back lost love & lover you can contact the spell caster on WhatsApp: +27685029687
