    all kinds of nasty bacteria go down the toilet - that is what it is for....how can toxoplasmosis in cat poop be worse than anything else? Honestly this sounds like environmental poop to me.

    Good point! And it all goes thru a sewage treatment plant before it is released anywhere in the environment - right???

    Sometimes the trough has water in it for washing hands but is often so filthyu you would catch more diseases from it than prevent! [I] always carried hand sanitiser with me and used public facilities only as a last resort. You need to hold your breath for the whole time too LOL
