This from Ohio State University:
"Transmission of toxoplasmosis can occur via oocysts or bradyzoites. Since cat feces are the only source of oocysts, exposure to oocysts can be minimized, but not prevented completely. The oocysts are very resistant to adverse environmental conditions, and oocysts in garden soil, sand boxes, etc., can remain infective for months (perhaps years in warmer climates). Infections via bradyzoites occur when raw or undercooked meat is eaten. House cats can be infected this way when they eat rodents and birds. Humans can be infected when they eat raw or undercooked meat products, and considering the very low host specificity of Toxoplasma, no meat product should be considered absolutely "safe." Heating meat to approximately 160 F or cooling it to 0 F (a hard freeze) should kill most of the zoitocysts."

A strong majority of Americans who owned cats were liberal, while dog owners were almost as strongly oriented toward calling themselves conservatives

My cat is trying to inure me to the smell of cat urine and cat feces. So far I am resisting the training.

Could it possibly be that Al Gore is Eat Up With The Dumb @ss or just has a bad case of Toxoplasma worms crawling around in his empty head.
We are almost certain that Nancy Pepolosie, Murdering Ted Kennedy, Little Dickie Turdbin, Hairy the scummy Reid, HowWeird Deaniac, Jessie Jackass, George Sore@ss and others have these Toxoplasma a crawling in their wormy minds and are also Eat Up With The Dumb A$$ as well. (EUWTDA)

Interesting. There was a warning many years ago to women who were pregnant. Don't empty the cat box. Have someone else do it, because of possible parasitical infection dangers to your unborn child.
Are there ways to get tested to see if you've been infected?

The standard example of parasites altering behavior to facilitate transmission is rabies, which causes the infected animal to become fearless and aggressive, to transmit the infection to new hosts by bites.
