If i touch my cats butt will i get toxoplasmosis ?

Why do you care ?: You get toxo by inhaling the cyst stage (egg) from their dried poop. In people with a normal immune system it can trigger a flu like illness, but seldom anything more involved. It is a great threat to a pregnant woman who can pass it to the fetus where it produced terrible complications.

Maybe: If you get contaminated poop on your hands and then don't wash them and touch your mouth or food with them. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection by a protozoa called Toxoplasma gondii. Common ways it can be spread is through contaminated food or handling feces of infected cats. It may not cause any sx's in healthy people or mild sxs like the flu.
