Cats are astonishing creatures

Cats are astonishing creatures. Although there is a growing concern that cats are trying to take over the planet! The Cat insurgency is on the rise! Cats are everywhere.. and they are using bio warfare!

Cats cause disease. After the lack of response of 911, Where my kitties were not saved from the car engine eventually. I have learned about the dangers of Toxoplasmosis. If I had known about these dangers I would not have accepted a cat as a pet in the first place! I really wouldn't. All I'm saying is cats are cute until they kill you!

Some of their most dangerous weapons currently are Toxoplasmosis, Rabies, Plague, Leptospirosis, Hookworm, Dipylidium, and Toxocara.

Toxoplasmosis can cause women to act reckless. This recklessness can cause major problems in the immediate environment. Since toxoplasmosis can spread to humans this is a cause for concern! The human immune system usually can stop the disease, although the elderly and people with weakened immune systems should be worried!

Toxoplasmosis can infect the fetus and cause a malformation or abortion.

If a woman gets a Toxoplasma infection while she is pregnant, her immune system will not be able to kill the parasites straight away (the immune reaction will take several days or weeks to develop), and the Toxoplasma parasites can be transmitted through the placenta to her unborn baby. Babies exposed to Toxoplasma before birth can have damage to their brain, ears, eyes and liver. Signs of damage may be present before birth (eg changes may be seen on ultrasound testing), or at birth, but they also may only become obvious later when the child is found to have hearing loss, vision problems or developmental problems.

Toxoplasmosis can also cause miscarriage. This is why it is on the top of my list as the most dangerous diseases spread from Cats to Humans!

Rabies is a disease caused by the rabies virus. It may take several weeks or even a few years for people to show symptoms after getting infected with rabies, but usually people start to show signs of the disease 1 to 3 months after the virus infects them. The early signs of rabies can be fever or headache, but this changes quickly to nervous system signs, such as confusion, sleepiness, or agitation. Once someone with rabies infection starts having these symptoms, that person usually does not survive. This is why it is very important to talk to your doctor or health care provider right away if any animal bites you, especially a wild animal.

Plague is a rare bacterial disease caused by Yersinia pestis (yer-SIN-ee-ah PEST-iss). People usually show symptoms 2 to 6 days after getting plague. Symptoms include fever, chills, weakness, and swollen and painful lymph nodes. A few people get pneumonia (infection of the lungs) as a first symptom of plague. The infection then spreads to other parts of the body. If this disease is not treated right away, many people who get sick will not survive.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects humans and animals. It is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. In humans it causes a wide range of symptoms, and some infected persons may have no symptoms at all. Symptoms of Leptospirosis include high fever, severe headache, chills, muscle aches, and vomiting, and may include jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), red eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or a rash. If the disease is not treated, the patient could develop kidney damage, meningitis (inflammation of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord), liver failure, and respiratory distress. In rare cases death occurs.Many of these symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases.

Leptospirosis is confirmed by laboratory testing of a blood or urine sample.

Hookworm infection is a disease caused by several species of parasites. The symptoms of animal hookworm infection in people depend on how people get the infection. Early stages of animal hookworms, the larvae, can infect people and travel through different parts of the human body. This is called larva migrans (LAR-va MIGH-granz). People can also get painful and itchy skin infections when animal hookworm larvae move through their skin. If a person accidentally eats animal hookworm eggs, then the larvae that hatch out of the eggs can reach the intestine and cause bleeding, inflammation (swelling), and abdominal pain.

Dipylidium is tapeworm of cats and dogs. People become infected when they accidentally swallow a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae; most reported cases involve children. Dipylidium infection is easily treated in humans and animals.

Toxocara infections can cause OLM, an eye disease that can cause blindness. OLM occurs when a microscopic worm enters the eye; it may cause inflammation and formation of a scar on the retina. Each year more than 700 people infected with Toxocara experience permanent partial loss of vision.

Heavier, or repeated Toxocara infections, while rare, can cause VLM, a disease that causes swelling of the body’s organs or central nervous system. Symptoms of VLM, which are caused by the movement of the worms through the body, include fever, coughing, asthma, or pneumonia.

With all of these diseases coming from your house hold cats I don't understand how people can kiss them good night.
