Patient's question:
At home, we have a pet dog. Now we are planning to have a child. In such a situation, can we get pregnant? What kind of tests do we need to do before getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Additionally, if a person eats uncooked animal meat (such as beef, lamb, or pork), the risk of contracting toxoplasmosis is higher. Animals commonly used for food are more likely to carry toxoplasma because they can transmit it to each other through feces. Moreover, their lifespans are generally much shorter than those of our pets. Therefore, the meat we eat almost every day is from a different animal each time.
