Answer:

Pregnant women should avoid cleaning the cat's litter box with their bare hands to prevent contracting toxoplasmosis that is often transmitted by direct contact with cat's feces.

Explanation:

Toxoplasmosis has important consequences in pregnant women. It is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can penetrate the placenta and reach the fetus. This could potentially cause an abortion or the fetus death.
