It's, a popular saying in Nigeria that a Cat's Spit can cause permanent Blindness or acidic injury to the skin. How true is this?
Has there been anything to prove or disprove this statement.

I really need some clarification on this. A stray cat jus gave birth to newborns in my compound. I don't know how to approach the situation.

Hope I don't get blinding spit too.

It rarely affect both eyes.

If your immune system is OK and you eat healthy, with enough vegetables, your right eyes can't be affected.

However, if you are the type that eat garri or Eba, fufu and rice on a regular basis, it is advisable you wear a net when you want to approach the cat that just gave birth cuz her saliva is very potent at this stage.


Lest I forget, walking stick price has really gone up since the turn of the year...so you may want to reconsider if your diet is not that good, else you will lose both eyes.

If they infect you with a bacteria called Bartonella via their saliva and you leave it too long without treatment, not all cats will have it but it's probably best to avoid that kind of contact in case you come across one that does

A cat's spit cannot cause blindness...

HOWEVER

Cats carry a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii that cause several complications in the human body especially if cat secretions get ingested with food and water....and this can include blindness, among other things.

If you come in contact with a cat or cat droppings, do do wash your hands thoroughly. If you eat cat or any member of the cat family(eg lion), do cook the meat thoroughly before eating.

Which kain English be this for frontpage??

I normally hear this when I was a kid then u will here people keep telling you ma su mo ologbo.. o ma tuto se.... lol. In yoruba... mehn na so fear go grip me.. I don't believe this sha..

You already got a kitten between your legs...take care of that first!!!

I own cats, just try to privide shelter on top of kittens and food also, but dont touch them even in. The absence of the mother cause the mother will relocate them , after some weeks you can take the kittens ,cats are good pets, and cat dont just spit anyhoe, there normal saliva is quite diffrent from the venom they spit when or provoked or want to defend thenselfs，dont apprear aggresive and they will be calm..

the only thing to be scared of for now is d mothers claws... in my family we cared for cats at two separate occasions.. and I tell u. once u get close to Dem u would be hooked..
