Hi,
Over the weekend I visited a historical Farm with "real" animals. Everywhere I looked I could see signs warning pregnant women not to approach the animals. I've always been aware that sheep could carry a disease (can't remember its name) that harm my unborn but had simply thought I needed to be extra careful about washing my hands etc. I thought there was the same risk with cats litter. Also doesn't the disease affect my dd (3yrs) - is it extra harmful to my unborn? The Open farm near where we live has just re-opened and my dd absolutely adores going there so I'm loathe to curtail her visits if this is just someone being incredibly cautious.
