Speaker's Notes

Remember these 3 simple steps: Clean, Separate, and Cook.

Toxoplasma can be found on unwashed fruits and vegetables, so be sure to clean/rinse them thoroughly under running water before eating them.

Toxoplasma can also be found in raw and undercooked meat, so keep these raw foods separate from ready-to-eat foods. Also, cook meat thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to check.

One last reminder: Don’t drink untreated water, particularly when traveling in less-developed countries.
