Washing food, washing hands: these are good practices, essential practices--not only to prevent infection with toxoplasmosis, but to prevent infection with any pathogen/parasite. In the U. S. cats are popular pets. Fear of toxoplamosis is not likely to change that, but pregnant women do tend to avoid cats. Wouldn't it be wise to have the cat, or cat feces tested in a home? Wouldn't that help to keep the family safe from a pet, before a human is infected?
Great article. Reminding us to wash hands (wash everything!) in the age of COVID especially is a good idea. Thank you.
