For those readers who missed that column, toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection which humans can acquire in one of two ways through direct contact with infected cat feces or through the eating of raw or undercooked meat and meat products or unwashed vegetables L.E. Carmichael, a veterinarian and professor of Oology at the New York State liege of Veterinary Medicine, made the following comment in response to your inquiry. "Some physicians who are familiar with the problem would have all cat feces buried deeply, or would discourage cats in households with small children. "This is an overreaction, but it is true that the feces of cats can carry toxoplasma organisms. 'The cat is a very clean animal, and for this reason probably does not pose a significant threat with respect to carrying the organism on its fur or paws." However, l have been in homes where I've witnessed cats scratching furiously in a box in the corner of the kitchen, then pupping up tactile mutters. to prowl around..

Although it smells horrible and looks worse, the store manager assures me that mackerel roust be sold uncleaned because it is so fragile. True or false? Wendy Eckley, Corcoran. Calif. In the "Encyclopedia of Fish Cookery" by A.J. McClane, the author states, "The thing to know about any mackerel is that they must be iced within six hours, and preferably immediately. It's during this time when the fish are exposed to ambient temperatures that the fresh mackerel flavor is lost. • This is not a question of spoilage, although any delay in icing accelerates changes in quality in subsequent storage, but a matter of the fish becoming tasteless." Debra Lambert, a public relations representative with Safeway Stores, states •that the merchandising manager informed her that mackerel is indeed very perishable and breaks down easily. if the scales were removed, it would cause the fish to be mushy, arid as it spoils quickly, one should handle the sst 1t ?ate gib*. at s• yetellfh nettef y.tt, 4,ny1%�lr.. shalt ,tltaile is,4ect7Sntl stwg and • taste;} VA**, . • S ►41101, US klt3NEx Pearsg explaik, spe l�+o „ dttfe once OgO101es Ogle PPP 1986 Suzuki Samurai: Enjoyable Driving On Or Off -Road The Samurai have returned to London!
