Hi all, quick question. I've done some research, and I believe it's fine, but would like to know if anyone ever consulted a doctor about this.
My wife isn't pregnant yet, but we are about to start trying. She has never cleaned the litter box, I always clean it on a daily basis, but it's located in our second bedroom, where her office is (and we are 100% WFH for now due to COVID).
Out cat is an indoor only, so no chance of him eating a rodent or bird (he's also got no teeth, so there would be no chance even if he did go outdoors).
My understanding is that the parasite potentially found in cat feces is in fact transmitted by them eating infected birds/rodents, but also that the parasite (1) isn't airborne; and (2) typically takes 1 to 5 days to become contagious once the cat has pooped.
Anyone has any additional information provided by a healthcare professional?
