What Is Toxoplasmosis?
8. Prevention
That the parasite is so common makes it all but impossible to be completely safe from it, but we can take steps to protect ourselves from the parasite. One of these is to wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, and make sure that any meat that you eat has been thoroughly cooked. Also, avoid drinking milk that has not been pasteurized.
You should also make sure that all cooking utensils are washed thoroughly, especially before and after preparing uncooked meat. If you are working in the garden then you should wear gloves, and make sure to wash your hands afterwards. If you have a sandbox then make sure it is covered to help prevent cats from using it as a litter box.
