How do people get toxoplasmosis?
http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxopla...info/faqs.html

A Toxoplasma infection occurs by:

Eating undercooked, contaminated meat (especially pork, lamb, and venison).
Accidental ingestion of undercooked, contaminated meat after handling it and not washing hands thoroughly (Toxoplasma cannot be absorbed through intact skin).
Eating food that was contaminated by knives, utensils, cutting boards and other foods that have had contact with raw, contaminated meat.How do people get toxoplasmosis?

Considering the topic I would have thought you would have at least
quoted the rest of the points mentioned on that link (but as I see you
are a cat owner I can see why you might not). ;-)

"Accidentally swallowing the parasite through contact with cat feces
that contain Toxoplasma. This might happen by

* cleaning a cat's litter box when the cat has shed Toxoplasma in
its feces
* touching or ingesting anything that has come into contact with
cat feces that contain Toxoplasma
* accidentally ingesting contaminated soil (e.g., not washing hands
after gardening or eating unwashed fruits or vegetables from a
garden)"

Some seemingly everyday actions ... especially for a 'cat owner'? ;-(

Think on all that when your cat (unlikely to be your dog) walks across
all the surfaces where *you* prepare food after it's carefully buried
it's cr*p in someone else's garden.

well my cat doesn't walk across food preparing work surfaces

How do you know that, OOI Dave?

and has never craped in anyone elses garden wel not in the last 4 years anyway.

As Andrew asks, how do you know? The only way you could would be that
your cat never goes outside (excellent), your back garden is 100%
covered in or your cat too old / heavy / lazy to climb out?

and it;s better behaved and more inteligent than Wodney too.

;-)

Well what isn't you may add :-)

Well, I'd say 'most cat's that I'm aware of' but you might be right.
