How to Prevent and Treat Toxoplasma Infection

Canadian Hairless Cat
First, pay attention to food hygiene; cook meat thoroughly and avoid contaminating cooked food with raw meat.
Second, keep cats indoors and feed them cooked food or commercial cat food; do not let them hunt outside. Cats become infected by eating infected mice or birds, or food contaminated by cat feces.
Third, maintain daily hygiene by cleaning cat feces every day and washing hands thoroughly after contact with animal excrement.
Fourth, unless a pregnant woman's serum test shows past toxoplasma infection, she should avoid contact with cats and their feces during pregnancy.
Fifth, there are several simple and effective medications for toxoplasma infection, such as sulfonamides combined with pyrimethamine, and spiramycin; treatment must follow medical advice. Timely treatment during pregnancy can significantly reduce the fetus's chance of infection. (Source:PetsZone)
