Even with special litter, pregnant women aren't supposed to clean them. The government doesn't even want pregnant women to be around cats, really: http://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/pregnant.htm
But, if we got kid of the kitty toxins, that would solve the problem right?
Paranoia.
Toxoplasmosis: Transmission may occur through:
[li] Ingestion of raw or partly cooked meat, especially pork, lamb, or venison containing Toxoplasma cysts. Infection prevalence in countries where undercooked meat is traditionally eaten has been related to this transmission method. Tissue cysts may also be ingested during hand-to-mouth contact after handling undercooked meat, or from using knives, utensils, or cutting boards contaminated by raw meat.[19]
[li] Ingestion of contaminated cat feces. This can occur through hand-to-mouth contact following gardening, cleaning a cat's litter box, contact with children's sandpits, or touching a leech, and can survive in the environment for over a year.[20]
I don't know about you, but most people wash their hands after cleaning the cat litter boxes.0 -
