Gardening, undercooked meat, and unwashed food (toxoplasmosis) could be avoided while pregnant / with weakened immune systems

"For pregnant women, gardening increases the risk of exposure to toxoplasmosis, a serious disease organism that causes flu-like symptoms in mothers and can cause mental disabilities and blindness in their unborn children. Toxoplasmosis is often spread in cat feces, particularly the feces of outdoor cats that catch, kill, and eat prey, such as rats...Chemicals, such as herbicides and insecticides, are also risk factors for pregnant women gardening. An unborn child’s brain and nervous system develop rapidly, and significant exposure during this critical time can impact the baby’s development."
