被猫咬伤后鲜为人知的危险

动物专家们称，适当的防护措施应该能将养猫的健康风险降至最低。美国疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)流行病学家杰弗里・L.琼斯(Jeffrey L. Jones)说：“让一只猫在家里出没几乎不会形成（弓形虫感染）的风险。”如果人们能够小心地处理猫砂盆，并彻底清洗、煮熟他们自己的食物，就应该不会染上弓形虫。

'If you practice good hygiene, you'll be fine,' said Aaron Glatt, an infectious-disease specialist who is chief administrative officer at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre, N.Y.

纽约洛克维尔中心区(Rockville Centre)莫西医学中心(Mercy Medical Center)首席行政长、传染病学专家亚伦・格拉特(Aaron Glatt)说：“如果你能践行良好的个人卫生习惯，就没有问题。”

One possible health benefit of cat ownership: a 'pet protective effect' against allergies and asthma, which has surfaced in some studies. Kids who grow up living with a cat appear 'less likely to develop allergy' to the animals, which, like other allergies, can be a trigger for asthma, said Matthew S. Perzanowski, an associate professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.

养猫可能带来的一个健康好处是：一种能够抵御过敏和哮喘的“宠物保护效应”，一些研究已经指出了这一效应。哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院 (Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health)副教授马修・S.帕札洛斯基(Matthew S. Perzanowski)说，那些和猫咪一起长大的孩子似乎“更不易对动物产生过敏”。动物跟其他过敏源一样，可能会引发哮喘。
