Kitty Litter in Garden: Health Hazard and Remediation

Used cat litter contains parasites/bacteria (toxoplasmosis risk). Not manure—cats are carnivores. Do not compost.

If Contaminated

Do not eat any produce from that patch this year.
Solarize: cover with black 3-mil plastic all winter to kill pathogens.
Safe to replant next spring.

See a doctor if gastrointestinal symptoms persist.
