A member asked:
Can toxoplasmosis oocysts survive and be infectious on floors and tables? or other high touch areas like door handles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Duplicate question I believe, last time about doorknobs. Same answer: no risk, no worries. But to maximize safey if pregnant and if an unclean environment with cats, just kerp the floors reasonably clean.
