I think if you have a cat, there's just a point where you accept that you'll be ingesting the odd hair or dribble or microscopic bits of poop.
And Toxoplasmosis.
Yes, of course be cautious, especially if pregnant. But an indoor cat, even if infected when adopted, won't be contagious after 2 weeks and won't have a way to get reinfected. Outdoor, strays, and unknown cats are obviously not inherently safe.
Most of us probably already have it from pork.
That's trichinosis, and it's exceedingly rare in farm raised pigs.
Edit: Trichinosis is rare in pork, but I was wrong about Toxoplasmosis. Cook your bacon all the way.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
I went down a rabbit hole once. It's one of those odd facts that seared I to my brain for no reason.
After both reading and watching Trainspotting, I can't help but read that in scottish
I've never read the book; what did you think of it? Did the film do a fair job of getting it across?
The book is written in phonetic Scottish, so it's not easy to read, but it absolutely nails the atmosphere, the rawness of the setting.
The book is heavier. It has a very dark storyline that is omitted from the movie, and therefore feels more visceral. The movie is a bit more camp and jovial, but it is absolutely right, I can't fault it, is perfect.
It's a rare case where both the book as the movie are brilliant, but each a whole different experience. I loved the sequel to the book more than the second movie, though, as it is in the same tone, the second movie is good, but not as edgy.
So I would recommend reading it if you have the chance.
Thank you very much for the thoughtful response. I haven't been reading nearly enough lately, and am trying to get back into the swing of it.
