Question

Which of the following illnesses can occur if a pregnant woman cleans a cat's litter box while pregnant and

can be detrimental to the fetus?
o Listeriosis
O Botulism
O Salmonellosis
Toxoplasmosis

Answer 1

D) Toxoplasmosis


The concern here is toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that can be transmitted through cat poop (such as in kitty litter or outdoor soil where cats have defecated). If you had toxoplasmosis in the past, you're generally considered immune, which can protect your unborn child from getting the infection.
