I have heard a lot of people on this site say you should be ok if you wear gloves and wash your hands real well afterwords. That means 20 seconds on scrubbing. You might want to check with your OB, though.

well the i dont get an ob until im 30 weeks and unfortunatly i cant wait that long and the doctors around here dont give you straight answers for anything im not very happy i live in a small city and its like there dumb its just a no and i know there has to be something that i can do, but the doctors here are so young its page by page out of the book. thank you for your advice.
umm...........well what about those cat-litter liner bags you can get
I´ve never used them, but that might help, or the self-cleaning ones
again never used, I suppose a search on the internet would find them for you !
Congratualtions on being pregnant
Toxoplasmosis is very difficult to catch from your cat so the risk of being infected is very low. Just wear rubber gloves - or get someone else to clean the litter box if you can - to be on the safe side.

thank you so much for that link it helped me alot to mellow out a bit i didnt know all of that so thank you for your information.
actually, it's safer for you if it's cleaned more often. does you cat go outside, ever? if not, chances are s/he doesn't even have it to give to you. but i agree - wear the rubber gloves & mask, & wash well & scoop often!Originally Posted by urbantigers

Ive been using rubber gloves and washing my hands very well after I change/scoop the litter boxes. I think as long as you clean your hands afterwards (which you should do anyway) you shouldnt have any problems. But I would tell hubby to deal with it. He can do it who cares if it makes him sick. He'll get over it.
