Many owners don’t know that some diseases in cats can be transmitted to humans, so today we will talk about which common diseases are common to humans and cats, and how to prevent them?

I hope everyone can use scientific concepts to better ensure the health of cats and themselves. It’s not the furry little guy around you that’s scary, it’s the lack of knowledge that’s scary.

Who is susceptible to infection?

The risk of transmitting most diseases is very small, but people with weak immune systems are more likely to be infected than the average person:

Children (especially babies), the elderly, patients undergoing cancer treatment, and pregnant women with AIDS.

Bacterial infection

Cat scratch disease

Human symptoms: Swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, muscle pain and weakness, and decreased appetite.

Method of infection: Being scratched or bitten by an infected cat, or licking the wound. Fleas and flea bombs can also help spread the infection.

Methods to avoid: Avoid being scratched and bitten by cats (avoid children playing too crazy with cats), regularly get rid of fleas, do not keep them loose, and treat wounds promptly after injury.

Salmonella

Human symptoms: Diarrhea, fever, gastrointestinal pain. Symptoms generally appear 1-3 days after infection.

Method of infection:Most cases are caused by eating contaminated food (such as raw eggs, raw chicken, etc.). Cats and other animals can also be infected with salmonella through their feces. Cats that eat raw meat or game are more likely to become infected.

Methods to avoid: Do not keep cats free-range, do not feed them raw food, and wash your hands after cleaning cat litter.

Parasitic infection

Hookworm
