Most infected cats will shed oocysts in their feces only once in their lifetime, typically for 3-10 days after infection. This shedding can release millions of oocysts, each capable of spreading and surviving for months. After infection, most cats will develop antibodies to T. gondii and will no longer shed oocysts.[145][138] An estimated 1% of cats at any given time are actively shedding oocysts.
We have an immune system. Basic sanitation is good, but it's not necessary or beneficial to be paranoid.
