Did you know over 60 million men, women & children in the U.S. are known carriers of Toxoplasmosis? But they display little to no clinical signs of illness due to the ability of the immune system to block the parasite from taking effect.

So if you re pregnant, no cleaning out the cat box for you! Get the hubby to do that wonderful chore ..
