Product Details

Don't play cat-and-mouse with the Toxoplasmosis gondii protozoan: reduce the risk of infection by keeping cats indoors, feeding them processed, commercial food -- and avoiding litter boxes. And don't give toxoplasmosis the chance to pounce.

One of the most common food-borne illnesses, toxoplasmosis can be acquired by eating undercooked meat (particularly lamb and pork), or under-washed fruits and vegetables. It's typically associated with cats as cats are the primary host for the reproductive stage of the parasite.
