Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wow. Great info. SO why is it every time I touch a cat and do not immediately was my hands I have a break out. I do mean every time. I have tested this and have asked people to look I am touching the cat watch, tomarow I will have one. NEVER faild.I have been symptom free for so long but as soon as I touch the beautiful feline I have an outbreak. Thanks for your post. I was wondering about the virus you were talking about. They also say expectant moms should not clean the litter box. Just another interesting cat fact. ( I used to have several cats and no longer break out now that I do not have them unless I pet one or I am sick and my immune system is low.
