Can stray cats be infected with germs if you pet them?

Stroking stray cats can spread bacteria. Stray cats live in a complex environment and therefore have a lot of bacteria on their bodies, including trichomonas and toxoplasma. Therefore, after petting stray cats, it is best to wash your hands with running water, disinfect your hands as soon as possible and do not eat food with your hands for a short period of time to avoid the risk of germ transmission. In addition, stray cats are feral and alert. It is best not to touch stray cats casually to avoid being scratched and injured by them.
