A member asked:
Would it be acceptable for pregnant women to clean dog poop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Puppy Poop: It is recommended that pregnant women not handle cat feces (change the litter box) due to concerns about infection with a parasite called toxoplasma gondi. The infection is called toxoplasmosis. Although this is not an issue with dogs, they can none-the –less have parasitic worms in their feces. Recommend handling dog feces with a gloved hand or a pooper scooper.
