Dangers of Cats for Human Health

In general, cats are not dangerous animals. But there are some people who are afraid to keep a cat at home. There are those who think that cat hair can make women infertile, there are also those who think that cats can cause asthma or respiratory problems.

Actually cat hair can make asthma just a myth. Cats have very small fleas and shed their skin frequently, the skin that humans inhale.

In fact, for healthy people inhaling these small impurities will not cause any adverse effects. However, for people who already have asthma, the excrement can cause shortness of breath. So it's not cats that cause asthma in someone.

For women, cats are often accused of causing infertility when in fact all warm-blooded animals can be infected and transmit Toxoplasma to humans, such as cows, horses, mice, sheep, dogs, chickens, birds, pigs, and others.

O yes Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that can attack animals and humans. Actually, this disease does not harm a healthy human body with a good immune system. However, if it hits pregnant women, it can be fatal because it can enter through the placenta to the fetus. The fetus will be affected by this disease because the fetus does not yet have a perfect immune system.

As long as the cat's fur and saliva do not contain disease, we will not get toxoplasma or other diseases from cat fur.

Actually a person's health can be maintained by maintaining the cleanliness of the animals that are kept. Such as bathing them properly and properly, and washing hands regularly to avoid germs.

We don't have to worry about liking or keeping cats as long as we can keep them clean and healthy.

So basically, cats never harm our health as long as we take care of them properly, catlovers ^_^
