Toxo is only dangerous to a fetus if the pregnant woman becomes infected for the first time during pregnancy. If you're wondering whether you need to worry about toxo, you can be tested -- if you already have it, your immune system will protect your fetus.

Actually, I just found out that "she" is a cockerel. But i still love her/him ;-) This just means that my handsome, blonde Svenny Penny will get re-homed.
