Is it possible to contract toxoplasmosis from another human?

---

If living with a latent carrier, could you possibly contract the T.gondii parasite from them? If they prepared you food and you ate it, and their hygiene was somewhat lax (what would have to occur besides them getting their feces in the food?), would that be a method of acquisition?

What about being around a person with acute toxoplasmosis? Is that person then more predisposed to spread the parasite to other residents sharing the household?
No, it is impossible. The organism that causes Toxoplasma has to phases of life: sexual and asexual. The sexual phase only occurs in cats and the cysts are shed in the feces. The only way to catch this is from the cysts from the sexual phase  (+ info)

Has anyone else experienced an ocular migraine?

---

I had my first one today...I do suffer migraines, but this is the first ocular migraine I have had. No pain but a growing zigzag blind spot, I could see around the edge but anything in the middle I was blind too. This was one of the most frighten things I have ever experienced, lasted about 45mins then ended, but moved into the more common type of migraine with sever pain. Anyone else experienced this?
had one some time ago couldn't see my hands everything else was OK except the hands it was really weird  (+ info)

When does toxoplasmosis pose a threat during pregnancy?

---

I have two indoor cats...totally indoor, never been outside. Is toxoplasmosis still as risk and if so-when should i stop cleaning the litter box? I'm in very early pregnancy...i.e 1 week late for my period-so 5 weeks or so.
Get someone else to clean the litter box, if you can't then wear gloves and wash your hands after.  (+ info)

Can toxoplasmosis be a result of 2 miscarriages?

---

I have a cat I regularly clean his litter box. always use scooper and wash my hand right away. Can toxoplasmosis be a result of 2 miscarriages?
Probably not. It sounds like you do everything right. However when you get pregnant again, you should get a self-scooping box or get somone else to scoop the box, just to be on the safe side. Unless you have the tissue sent off to pathology (which almost no one does because it's traumatic) then there's no way of knowing what caused your miscarriages. It could be anything.  (+ info)

Will an eye transplant rid of Ocular Albinism?

---

I am 16 years old and have had ocular albinism since I was a few months old. Right now, without contacts, my eyes are sitting at 20/60. I am going to another eye appointment to get them tested with my contacts to see how much that improves my vision. I was just wondering if anyone knew where they are these days regarding eye transplants and the sucsess rates as I can't find reliable information online. I also wondered if because of my somewhat rare condition, could an eye transplant actually rid me of ocular albinism?

thanks !
I agree with all the above.

What *may* help you more than regular contact lenses might be contacts with a completely opaque iris pattern, if this has not already been assessed.
This could could cut glare and unfocussed light that might be passing through your iris rather than the pupil.

Most "coloured contacts" do not have a competely opaque coloured portion and would not produce this effect.

The cosmetic effect with opaque lenses (such as are used to turn dark brown eyes light blue) is not quite as good as with the "added colour" ones, so this would be something of a trade-off, but I suggest that a trial would worth considering.  (+ info)

How would you know if you contracted listerosis or toxoplasmosis?

---

Both of them have symptoms that can be related to any number of diseases/conditions. Who's to say you can't just chalk it up to a cold or an upset stomach??
Toxoplasmosis is only a problem if you get it for the first time in your first trimester. They did a blood test for me at about week 6, and I (suprisingly, after 14 years of cleaning cat litter) had never had it.

Listeriosis, they can probably do a blood test or a sample and check it under the microscope. It's bacterial, and bacteria are big enough to see under a simple microscope. My gyn had a microscope in their offices where they could check samples. However, convulsions might be a clue.

Either way, you'd have to go to a doctor to be sure. I've heard people say women's immune systems are suppressed during pregnancy, but I didn't even get a cold during mine, so I don't know how to tell you the difference from day-to-day symptoms. I would have gone to the doctor for any illness. We tried for 5 years, I wasn't taking any chances.  (+ info)

pregnancy and toxoplasmosis in indoor cats?

---

Hi,

I've heard about pregnant women not handling cat's litter box during pregnancy and it has something to do with toxoplasmosis.

From what I understand, cats get infected if they hunt outside and eat infected animals.

My question is, i have 2 cats that are strictly indoor. We never let them out (the used to be able to go out and hunt before we got them but that was 2 years ago.)

Is it safe for me (when im pregnant) to handle the litter box? Or gloves really do help like they say?

Thanks in advance!
I called my Dr on this one and she told me NO NO NO.

Having indoor cats is fine but changing the litter box is a no no!

Please don't change the litter box, think of it this way for a whole 9 months someone else gets to do that chore :)  (+ info)

How long after infection does Ocular Herpes have an outbreak?

---

I've been having symptoms for a few weeks now and I'm wondering how long after my eyes are infected with herpes that they will have an outbreak.
Yes, I believe I've infected myself. I just want to know how long it should be before I have an outbreak.
See an ophthalmologist immediately.
You will likely be prescribed Anti-viral medication, to help mitigate the problem, this assuming you even have the condition.

You did not give much information. So, did someone who has cold sores touch your eye? Do you think you self-infected yourself?


If you have Ocular Herpes, you can go blind from this condition. It is IMPORTANT you get medical help immediately to rule it out ~ or in.  (+ info)
