Hi,
I am 12 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, my friends cat 'stabbed' me with it's claw, and punctured the skin. The cat is more or less an indoor cat, sometimes goes out in the back yard supervised.
I am going crazy here, worrying that I have caught Toxoplasmosis. I called the vet, they said, you have to EAT the parasite to become infected. That put my mind at rest, but then after speaking the doctor, they said I could have been infected through a scratch, and they took blood today, to see if I have been exposed to the parasite before, if so I would be immune. They plan to take blood again in 2 weeks.
As I said, I have been just crying all day with worry about this. Can any one offer any advice? Is it likely I have got Toxo?
