What’s everyone worried about having a pet while pregnant

One of the biggest worries about keeping a pet during pregnancy is the fear of toxoplasma infection. It is well known that toxoplasma infection can have a serious effect on the fetus, but it is not well known how toxoplasma can be infected that makes it more worrying.So under what conditions is toxoplasma more susceptible to infection?

The main route of transmission of toxoplasma is through the digestive tract, such as eating undercooked meat or eating after touching animal waste without washing your hands.

1. Although dogs can be infected with toxoplasma, dogs are the intermediate hosts of toxoplasma. They can only reproduce asexually in their bodies.

Cats are the ultimate hosts of toxoplasma, and because the only cats we have in our homes are cats, everyone points to cats as the source of the infection.In the event of a pet’s death, owners choose pet memorial gifts.

3. Any mammal, including humans, can contract and transmit toxoplasma, as can poultry and insects, but eating raw meat, unclean vegetables, fruits and vegetables is the main route of infection.

Pregnant mothers should take protective measures

1. It is best to perform a TORCH test before pregnancy and at the third month of pregnancy. This test includes tests for toxoplasmosis, rubella virus and cytomegalovirus.After testing, you can clearly recognize their resistance to a number of diseases, can also give the home pet antibody testing, if the pet is not infected, pregnant mother can rest assured.Recall your pet with a choice of pet memorial gifts.

2, should clean the house every day pet feces, and after cleaning to wash hands with hand sanitizer and running water, after playing with them also remember to wash hands, it is best not to let the pet drink raw water, eat raw food.Also remember to give them regular deworming, as long as you pay attention to these points, they will not be infected, also do not infect humans.

Families abroad rarely hear of pets being given away because they are pregnant, or because of differences in concept and education.In fact, as long as regular attention to deworming, science pets, let them accompany the belly of the small life is a very good thing.

If you can’t convince your family, I hope you can give them a good home, because they can only rely on you in this world.
