Pregnant women are especially on alert because they can transmit the infection to their unborn child, and a congenital toxoplasmosis infection in utero can lead to miscarriage or an array of malformations at birth.

Reducing your risk
Even though it is unlikely that a woman will contract toxoplasmosis from her cat, it’s a good idea to err on the side of caution. The following recommendations will help cat owners expecting a child to reduce their risk of contracting toxoplasmosis.
* Avoid undercooked meat.
* Wash all uncooked vegetables thoroughly.
* Wash all cutting boards and utensils that might have come in contact with meat before using them.
* Wear gloves when working in soil. If gloves are not worn, hands need to be washed thoroughly afterward.
* Ask a spouse, friend or neighbor to help out with litter box duties while you’re pregnant.
* If you don’t have help to keep the litter box clean, wear rubber gloves when changing the litter and thoroughly wash your hands afterward.
* Have your cat’s litter changed on a daily basis.
*Teach your cat not to walk on the kitchen counter after taking a dump in said litter box
