A member asked:
I read i have to wash my kitchen utensils with water&soap to avoid toxoplasmosis infection.cant toxoplasma live in my kitchen sponge? 32 week pregnant

No: Toxoplasmosis is a parasite that lives in soil. I have never heard of contracting it from a sponge. If were the case, a lot of women would be at risk. Avoid cat litter and garden with gloves, those are 2 most common ways to get it. Hope that helps!
