One. Can cats really not coexist with pregnant women and newborns?
Before the Internet, I often saw some people, because someone in the family was pregnant, they cruelly sent the cat that accompanied them to be raised, abandoned, which did not make people sigh, cats and pregnancy, pregnancy, and newborns really can not live in harmony together? Have the happy times we once spent together been forgotten?
The cat muttered to herself, "Mom and Dad are afraid that I have an infectious disease, and after getting along with me, they will infect this bad guy to little Baby."
So, what is toxoplasmosis? The answer is that pregnant women infected with Toxoplasma gondii can develop parasitaemia, which leads to secondary fetal intrauterine sensation through the placenta, causing congenital infection of the fetus and causing damage to the fetus and newborn.
The cat is both the intermediate host of Toxoplasma gondii, and the cat is the terminal host, once the cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii, not only in the body, but also in the feces pulled out by the cat, there may also be toxoplasmosis eggs. General adult contact, there will be no symptoms, but if it is a pregnant woman,it will be transmitted from mother to child, transmitted to the baby, causing harm to the baby.
Seeing this, everyone may be afraid, it is really so terrible, then don't keep a cat.
However, I would like to say that cats and pregnant women can still coexist, why is this?
In reality, the probability of actually contracting Toxoplasma gondii is very low.
Second, pregnancy can also be a happy cat shoveler
Here's why
You need to have a cat and then give it back to go out and play and feed raw food.
Then your cat pulls out the only time in this life that it has been infected - note that this is also only pulled out once in a lifetime. It just so happens that you did not clean up in time, (fresh poop is useless, the poop contains toxoplasma go through 2-5 days of hatching, only to have infectious) Wait until it hatches, just after pregnancy you go to clean it up, and just after you have not worn gloves, and you have not washed your hands after cleaning up, just the hand touched the cat's rice, and finally, you grabbed something with the hand that touched the cat and ate it into the stomach.
Above all, you have to happen to be, just by chance, after this series, it is possible to infect Toxoplasma gondii.
Therefore, pregnant women and Toxoplasma gondii, as long as you pay attention to hygiene, generally will not be infected.
Third, eugenics and fertility, the preparation of harmonious coexistence
In fact, having said all this, some people will still say, no, in case? Who's right?
The shovelers who have cats, in the spirit of being responsible for the unborn child, still recommend that everyone take the small owners to the hospital for physical examination before preparing for pregnancy, and regularly deworm to ensure that there is no threat. At the same time, pregnant women also have to go to the hospital for a Torch examination.
About Torch: TORCH test refers to the virus items recommended during the pre-pregnancy preparation period and the first trimester of pregnancy, which may cause embryonic malformations, so it is recommended to perform related tests during the pregnancy preparation period. TORCH's main projects include Toxoplasma gondii, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus and rubella virus, which are divided into two tests, IGM and IGG, if IGM is positive, it is necessary to consider whether there is a current infection, and further observe the changes in HCG. If the antibody titer of IGG increases after 2-4 weeks, consider an existing infection, try not to get pregnant at this time, and then let the pregnant woman try to get pregnant after the antibody transfer. If the antibody is positive during early pregnancy, it is necessary to observe for a period of time, and special attention should be paid to the screening of fetal malformations to see if the fetal malformations are caused by viral infections.
Finally, hopefully every cat has a master who doesn't abandon you and brings more joy to your shoveler.
