Many young people who have pre-pregnancy checkups often ask a question: We are preparing to have a baby, can’t we raise a cat anymore? How to deal with the relationship between a baby and a cat?
Many people know that if you are infected with toxoplasma gondii during pregnancy, you will give birth to a silly child or a weirdo.
The following is what happens when pregnant women are infected with Toxoplasma gondii:
① Infection with Toxoplasma during pregnancy will lead to intrauterine death of the fetus and spontaneous miscarriage of .
② If the child survives by chance and the pregnancy continues, Toxoplasma gondii may invade the fetus' central nervous system, causing problems such as hydrocephalus , microcephalus , cerebral calcification, hepatosplenomegaly, , ascites, and fetal intrauterine growth restriction.
③A baby faces convulsions, cerebral palsy, audiovisual and visual disorders, mental retardation, etc. after birth, with a mortality rate of 72%.
Here first, we need to know clearly that indoor cats are not prone to infection with toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can be infected by birds, humans, cats, etc., and is widely distributed.
——————————————————
The reason why cats are infected with Toxoplasma gondii is caused by eating toxoplasma gondii cells or eating raw meat carrying Toxoplasma gondii cyst cells, including mice, birds, and feces, because these can also be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. There are also infections through exposed eyes or mouth and nose breathing, and even more so through skin.
Note: Milk and eggs may also be infected.
Therefore, domestic cats, those who do not eat live or drink raw water, are not easily infected.
Most often humans eat uncooked meat or vegetables (with toxoplasma gondii cysts), which are rare to be transmitted to humans through cats.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————— Toxoplasma gondius likes to affect the lungs, liver, intestines and eyes.
The most common symptoms are mental, poor diet, fever, diarrhea, dyspnea, spasm, , and eye symptoms and jaundice.
A pregnant person or female cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii , Toxoplasma gondii will pass through the placenta to the fetus and lead to congenital infection of the fetus, or to the uterine cavity to cause miscarriage or stillbirth .
