Pregnant women have been advised by the Department of Health to avoid contact with sheep during lambing season because of a risk of infections including chlamydiosis, listeriosis and toxoplasmosis, to them and their unborn baby. A leaflet, While you are pregnant: How to avoid infection from food and from contact with animals, is available from GPs and midwives.
