I'm doing some research on litter and aflatoxins. I was loving the egg layer crumbles...so inexpensive and functional, until I heard about aflatoxins and corn-based litters.
If the problem is growing mold when the litter gets wet, wouldn't it be ok to use if you are cleaning the litter box regularly and not allowing the mold to grow?
Is it only dangerous if the mold is visible or are there invisible mold spores that can still cause illness?
Apparently it's an issue with wheat based litter as well.
Bratt has been using Yesterday's News since his injury and I kind of like it. I'm wondering if my other cats can get used to it. I'm just concerned about the cost. I really love the egg layer crumbles.
I guess if it turns out the cedar litter is not causing my allergy flare I can stick with that.
Wondering what you guys use and how much you worry about aflatoxins.
