Will you be infected with toxoplasmosis?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, one important way to contract toxoplasmosis is through ingesting cat feces. The oocysts of Toxoplasma gondii in cat feces can remain infectious for one to twenty days, and sometimes even longer. If you want to know whether you are infected with this parasite, you can go to the hospital to check for toxoplasma antibodies.
