A netizen previously complained about a "hypocritical" pregnant woman in an online post. He asked a newly married couple to move into the community where he lived. The neighborhood used to live in harmony, but since the young couple became pregnant, it seems that the whole world has to make concessions to them, and they often have minor frictions with their neighbors because of unfounded excessive worries.
For example: I once posted a notice in the corridor asking everyone to control the WIFI at night, and there were pregnant women at home who were afraid of radiation;
For example: I knocked on the neighbor's door in the middle of the night and said that the leaking toilet in the neighbor's house affected the rest of the pregnant woman...
At first, because of her pregnancy, everyone kept silent and didn't care about it. After all, it was all small things, and the neighbors looked up but did not look down, so they could not make a fuss.
But "if I often walk by the river, my shoes will never get wet." Finally one day, the pet cat raised by Aunt Wang who lived opposite ran out and squatted on the cat litter to satisfy its "physiological needs."
It happened that the young couple was about to go out for a walk. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but yelled wildly and asked Aunt Wang to get rid of their cat quickly. This matter continued to escalate, alarming the property management department of the entire community.
It turned out that the young couple asked the entire community to clean up cat feces, fearing that their pregnant wife would be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. At this time, a community resident stood up and said angrily: "Don't you know that if you want to be infected with Toxoplasma, you have to eat fresh and hot cat feces 24 hours a day to be infected? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will eat hot cat feces?"
For a moment, the couple was speechless.
The property management company was fed up with the young couple’s “complaints”. Watching their retreating figures, they complained to everyone: It’s not scary to be pregnant stupidly, but it’s just that pregnant women are uneducated. I’m fed up with everything going on every day.
There are many such pretentious pregnant mothers in life. They not only hear rumors from somewhere, but also rashly believe that keeping pets during pregnancy will affect the health of the fetus. They take it for granted that these animals have bacteria, but is this really the case?
Can’t I keep a dog or cat while I’m pregnant? If you don’t know what fecal-oral transmission is, don’t yell
Regarding cats and dogs during pregnancy, the main concern of pregnant mothers is that Toxoplasma gondii will be in their feces, which will then infect the pregnant mother, leading to fetal malformations.
In fact, it is not that easy to be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. The most common way is fecal-oral transmission. The so-called fecal-oral transmission means that the pathogen is excreted from the body through feces. If you touch it rashly before the bacteria have evaporated, and then accidentally eat it in your mouth or get it in your eyes or nose, it is called "fecal-oral transmission."
We can illustrate fecal-oral transmission in a closer reality with an example:
A cat infected with Toxoplasma excreted feces on a piece of ground.
Sanitation workers cleaned the feces, but the extremely viable eggs remained on the ground.
The bread you were eating happened to fall on the ground. You ate the piece of bread with the idea that you could still eat it after picking it up in three seconds.
Thus, a fecal-oral transmission was completed.
You can imagine how low this chance is, so even if you are pregnant, don’t be too nervous about cats and dogs, and take complete safety precautions.
