This parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, is commonly found in cat feces and can be especially dangerous for people with compromised immune systems, as well as pregnant women. Toxoplasmosis is often transmitted to humans through the accidental ingestion of the parasite\u2019s cysts. This can happen by touching contaminated surfaces and then putting your hands in your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"tinyhouse-zone.com_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"CK7PpsOmlpIDFdI4BgAdlLwJSA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23201474937\/tinyhouse-zone.com\/tinyhouse-zone.com_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Although most people who contract toxoplasmosis do not experience severe symptoms, those with pre-existing health conditions may experience complications such as fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and, in severe cases, neurological problems.
