00:07 In their bombastic side eye and criminal offensive side eye,
00:12 they are the real boss of the house.
00:15 From your point of view, our pets are disgusting.
00:19 They are hiding something that is disgusting.
00:21 [Music]
00:24 But still be careful because our pets can get sick.
00:29 Cats are said to have nine lives.
00:35 But we should still take care of them because they can pass on diseases to us.
00:42 How can a person live alone?
00:46 What are the so-called toxoplasmosis and how can we avoid it?
00:52 If you have a cat that you take care of, you will really love them.
00:59 It's not difficult to take care of them because they are not easy to take care of.
01:03 They are also cold.
01:05 Joanna's cat care has reached 21.
01:10 Out of the many pets, Joanna cleaned the house more and more.
01:16 [Music]
01:20 If it's like this, you really need to clean it more and more.
01:24 Because there are some that are spreading parasites in their hair.
01:30 They are always disinfecting.
01:32 They are also very careful because they are sick that cats can pass on.
01:37 Of course, we also don't know what we are carrying outside.
01:41 Especially for stray animals outside that carry viruses.
01:47 So we also avoid it so that it won't pass.
01:50 [Music]
01:52 The parasite that I call is toxoplasma gondii.
01:56 It can be obtained from the dirt of cats.
01:59 In parasites, we have what we call definitive hosts.
02:03 So the toxoplasma parasite really lives there in cats.
02:09 So they are the common carriers of toxoplasma gondii.
02:13 [Music]
02:14 But it's not only cats that can get the parasitic toxoplasma gondii.
02:20 Actually, it's like a cycle.
02:22 There are cysts around us.
02:25 The cyst can be eaten by other animals, like rodents, by the cat.
02:30 If there is a cat that will have a cyst, eventually the cat will also eat the cat.
02:35 So when the cat has the cyst of toxoplasma, the toxoplasma will reproduce.
02:41 And then the cycle will repeat.
02:44 The cat will have a cyst again, and other animals will eat it again until it gets infected again.
02:50 It can also go to humans when the contaminated or poorly cooked food is eaten.
02:58 Wash the meat well, always well cooked.
03:01 Especially if your food is immunodeficient, pregnant patients.
03:06 It's better to be sure.
03:08 [Music]
03:09 This is also the parasitic effect of the actress' pregnancy, Iza Calzado in 2020.
03:15 I was told that my recent test results for a parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis
03:20 confirmed that it was a recent infection and could be a potential risk for you if it is passed through the placenta.
03:28 On social media, Iza posted her concern about the child she is pregnant with.
03:34 I was told that there could be brain damage, visual impairment, or it could even lead to pregnancy loss.
03:40 Once a person is infected with toxoplasma, it's like it's already there.
03:46 The downside is that in the future, if your immune system falls, it can reactivate.
03:52 So in short, it won't be lost, it's already there.
03:54 According to the expert, if it is passed to a person, it can be a cyst in the muscle tissue around the heart,
04:03 brain, and eyes.
04:05 And it's very dangerous for people who are immunocompromised or have low resistance.
04:11 All people can acquire toxoplasma.
04:14 According to studies, 80% of the population at one point in our lives can already acquire toxoplasma.
04:22 But if you are a healthy individual, you won't have any apparent symptoms.
04:27 It's dangerous if a person's resistance suddenly drops.
04:32 People with weak immune systems, HIV, dialysis patients, cancer patients, and transplant patients.
04:43 These symptoms are obvious, such as headaches and body aches, fatigue, and swelling of the left nodes or kidneys.
04:53 The most dangerous and least affected is the brain.
04:58 It can reach the brain in the form of encephalitis, it can reach the heart, myocarditis, and it can also reach the liver as pneumonitis.
05:07 So any kind of organ can be affected if you are immunodeficient.
05:12 As far as possible, doctors are prohibited from taking care of cats due to maternal fetal or vertical transmission.
05:21 If a woman has been able to acquire toxoplasma before pregnancy, we usually don't have any problems.
05:28 But if it was acquired during pregnancy, there can be adverse effects.
05:33 It can lead to preterm birth, abortion, or stillbirth.
05:39 That's why our friends from OB are really asking us to avoid handling cats when they are pregnant.
05:48 The most dangerous thing that can happen is the occular toxoplasmosis.
05:54 It affects the retina of the eye.
05:56 You can have partial vision loss, retinal detachment, or glaucoma.
06:03 Worst case scenario, if the whole eyeball is affected, the remedy is enucleation, meaning you will remove the whole eyeball.
06:13 For cat lovers who have been given too much love and have been licked by cats, toxoplasmosis won't occur immediately.
06:21 Aside from the fact that it is a disease and that it can cause various diseases.
06:26 There are instances where cats have been licked by cats.
06:28 If you have been licked, eaten, or brought to the mouth, there is a tendency for you to acquire toxoplasma.
06:39 That's why for someone like Joanna who has Ming Ming by her side, it is important to be clean at home.
06:45 Being a responsible pet lover is closely related to ensuring their environment is clean.
06:52 For humans, we are also afraid of getting infected by any virus because we don't see it.
06:59 So it's the same for cats.
07:01 So as much as possible, it is really hard and scary to get infected by a virus.
07:08 [Music]
07:12 Cat lovers, I mean, cat lovers, there is nothing to worry about when it comes to taking care of our cats.
07:18 [Music]
07:21 Make sure that the environment is clean so that the danger of parasites can be avoided.
