mo41486 is right. You can only contract it through feces and urine. Most people already have taxoplasmosis if they've ever had cats and are immune to it already.

You're just fine, honey!!!

My doctor said that you can get that from cat poop.  But she didn't say anything about scratches.

I have ever heard of that, what is it?  Was it a stray kitten?  See your doctor if you are worried. He or she will give you the best answer. Good luck to you.
