Useful Information
Toxoplasmosis and other infections (such as rubella and listeriosis) can be dangerous during pregnancy, but they can be prevented with some precautions: - wash fruits and vegetables well - always cook meat and fish (if it has not been slaughtered or frozen before) - wear gloves if you treat plants or animals - wash your hands thoroughly after any risky contact - avoid unpasteurized foods (dairy products and raw eggs) - always follow good household hygiene rules.
During routine checks, specific tests are performed to verify immunity. If you're not immune, follow your doctor's instructions to reduce your exposure.
