All of you sisters who are pregnant or have been pregnant must have heard the saying that "pets will get Toxoplasma gondii during pregnancy", and even some sisters posted that because of pregnancy, the in-laws said to throw away the pet cat/dog for help.
In fact, the saying that "pets during pregnancy will get toxoplasma gondii" is too alarmist.
Are pets and pregnant women really inseparable? Isn't it possible to have pet cats and dogs after pregnancy and the birth of a child?
Of course not! In fact, as long as you are prepared in advance, pets do not have much impact on pregnant women.
Toxoplasmosis
Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii.
Humans are infected mainly by eating uncooked meat, food and water contaminated with cat feces, or by having close contact with cats infected with Toxoplasma gondii, as well as eating meat and eggs containing toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic pathogenic parasite, and the infection of toxoplasma gondii in humans with normal immune function is mostly a hidden infection; while the infection of immunocompromised human beings can cause lesions of various organs throughout the body and even cause death. Infection of pregnant women with Toxoplasma gondii can lead to miscarriage, premature birth, fetal malformations, etc.
But as long as precautions are taken, pregnancy can still be a pet.
Precautions
Pregnant women avoid cleaning up the excrement of cats or dogs. Therefore, during pregnancy or pregnancy, pregnant women should entrust the heavy responsibility of shoveling (shoveling shit) to their families.
Pregnant women should remember to wash their hands in time after touching pets to avoid bringing pathogenic microorganisms into the mouth and causing infection.
Regular physical examination of pets and regular deworming of pet dogs can effectively cut off the transmission of some zoonotic diseases (such as toxoplasmosis) from pets to humans.
It is forbidden to feed cats undercooked meat, offal, or bones, and efforts should be made to keep cats moving indoors to avoid eating raw meat. Pet cats should only be fed dry, canned or cooked food.
However, if a choice had to be made, frozen meat was less likely to be infected than fresh meat, and beef was less likely to contain toxoplasma than horse meat, pork or lamb.
Since cats cannot take advantage of plant-derived VA, some owners use raw livers to improve cat fur, and this practice should be stopped because toxoplasma gondii tissue sacs often appear in the livers of food animals.
Keep the environment of the cat house clean and dry, and dispose of feces in a timely manner.
All in all, for toxoplasmosis, no matter what kind of infection, in the end it is "the disease comes from the mouth". Therefore, dietary hygiene and environmental cleanliness are key.
Pets are human friends, as long as you do a good job of pregnancy physical examination, pay attention to pregnancy health, reasonable feeding, pregnancy can also raise pets!
