Toxoplasmosis

[Leo1986]

Does anyone know how long toxoplasmosis lives on hard surfaces? I.e could it transfer from a cats water bowl to its mat and live in the mould?
I already know that toxoplasmosis can live in water, soil and cats poo.but just wandered if it could live or other surfaces.

It’s a parasite, it needs a host. It also needs to go through a process in order to become infectious to humans so it needs to sit in poo for 1-5 days. Basically if you empty litter boxes daily with gloves on, and wash your hands well, the risk is negligible.

Is it good news im starting medication now is it too late? And do you know anyone who were pregnant and had toxoplasmosis and had a healthy baby?
