See below: It would be better to have someone else clean the litter box if possible and for you to avoid it entirely. If this is not possible wear disposable gloves. Toxoplasmosis oocysts are killed it the cat litter pan is soaked in nearly boiling water for 5 minutes. It the litter pan is cleaned every day the oocysts will not have a chance to sporulate.
