However, I've always used good common sense when cleaning and scooping litter boxes. Washing your hands afterwards and keeping the litter box clean is good routine to get into under normal circumstances.
Tidy Cat would be an acceptable option for us. Actually, the article(s) I read was more about the dangers of clumping (clay especially) litter for cats, than for humans. Like, they can ingest it an end up having completely undigestible rock-type masses in their digestive systems. Or something. It makes sense, but then again, I know soooooo many cats who use ordinary clumping litter and are perfectly healthy...
