Holy crap, this is the worst house I have ever seen---proof positive EA just doesn't care about quality in any way, shape, or form.  I think they hired a monkey to design this one.

Thanks fatkitty--I had glossed over the general topic only as a means to rant about panic over tox and EAs contribute to said panic, but your addition and symptom correction is sound.  You and I are talking both sides of the same coin--whether you get it from soil, uncooked meat, poo, the rule is that folks should use common sense and wash hands and food prep surfaces.  It has to be ingested, even if you get it from wiping your mouth with a grubby garden glove after doing some weeding, general contact doesn't mean you get it as it's a parasite too large to be absorbed through the skin.  Folks interested in detailed info can find a spiffy brochure by the U.S. CDC (Centers for Disease Control) at http://www.cdc.gov/toxoplasmosis/pdfs/ToxoCatOwners_8.2004.pdf; lots of good info at NIH, too.

The moderators will probably delete our little tidbits for kvetching about toxo on a dead thread, but it's good to know.  See you 'round!

I'm sure the moderators here will viciously taunt/riducule/poke/ban me for this (my first) post to MATY, but I wanted to share a quick bit of info re: toxoplasmosis for those who come after and find this thread (and also say thanks for this mod, even though I pressed the thanks button first; "thanks" to the Arse who put that wav up, btw, since I originally opted to not spam with a reply of any kind--BMA).  EA is semi-retarded--as we all know--but the particular code for preg simmies proves it.  They were probably conned by their doctors about toxo and didn't bother to study up before punting kitty out the door.  There's no need to wear masks (unless you have dodgy lungs/asthma), give up your kitties, or even wear gloves--the parasite is MORE prevalent in birds than in cats . . . the birds have to get it via an infected meat source usually, AND your cat has to eat that bird, AND you have to eat its poo to get it.  Yup--you have to INGEST the parasite to get it.  If you had it, you'd have chronic eye infections, maybe blindness, other funness.  Don't raid the litter box for snacks or phail to wash up after scooping, mkay?!  Cheers to everyone, back to simming . . .
