A member asked:

Can you get toxoplasmosis if a dog licks you after it ate from the cat litter box?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Toxoplasmosis: Theoretically yes. Although you can't "catch" toxoplasmosis from an infected child or adult, you can become infected if you come into contact with cat feces that contain the parasite. You may accidentally ingest the parasites if you touch your mouth after gardening, cleaning a litter box or touching anything that has come in contact with infected cat feces.
