Cyclosporiasis is on the rise in the US but the information on how to handle the parasite is very contradictory. Literally heard on the radio this morning that in order to kill Cyclospora cayetanensis, you have to boil your produce but the news is saying something else.

Please be safe everyone.

Access restricted at this time. USA today: bite me. Assholes.

Explosive’ diarrhea illness reported across US. See map of affected states

The map at the CDC is more up to date https://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.html

Although grain of salt, the US Fed govt. cant be trusted. But the USA map was using this data too.

"avoid consuming water contaminated by feces"

Yeah thanks, I don't see any floating shit particles floating in there, but I'll keep on the lookout. Good lookin out

"While state health authorities, the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are working to determine a common thread among the illnesses"

The common thread is the fucking ghouls in Washington DC gutted food inspection, gutted safety inspection, gutted agencies responsible for food safety, gutted the ability to enforce these things.

There is no mystery.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep. The Huffington Post reported that monitoring of cyclospora was stopped when. DAGE gutted the CDC.

If it was a McDonald's food borne illness outbreak. Trump would be on top of it. He doesn't consume fruits and vegetables.

Complete bullshit how crippled the CDC and other programs are now. I think I read awhile back that the CDC put out a blank statement when the cuts hit. That they couldn't be effective anymore at reporting and tracking outbreaks and just warned people to avoid anything known to cause illnesses like romain lettuce.

Which is fucked they had to admit that even though they want to protect US citizens they can't, because they are so underfunded.

This isn't the first fuck around and find out incident and won't be the last.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

just warned people to avoid anything known to cause illnesses

So, US food basically.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Fruits and vegetables are woke.

but the media as usual completely misses the point....this is transmitted by fecal-oral route, so who is shitting on America's vegetables?

[–] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 2 points 2 days ago

It always has to do with cow manure. Cow manure is used as fertilizer, but the problem is not the cows, its the quality control and sanitation techniques. While harvesting, during the packing process within the factories (who knows how well those are kept clean) and then during shipping. Quality control went down dramatically after covid (it wasn't that great to begin with) and that's why we have been seeing an increase in food born illnesses.

This is one reason why my family and I started growing our own produce. this is to much.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

We tried that and now our city says no can't have garden unless you're zoned for that. Totally bullshit!

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Look into something like an indoor hydroponic garden. There's some for fairly inexpensive on Amazon and nothing beats homegrown

I set this little guy up to grow lettuce for my birds. It's got just two pods and no automatic lights and the bubbler turns off with the lights

I'm in the middle of cleaning the big one, 6 or 7 pods, which can grow a surprising amount. It's got adjustable height and timers for the light

Republican policy is great at saving money, till you have to face the consequences of saving that money.

[–] Archimedes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

It's a policy designed to profit Healthcare. They want you to be sick.

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, and this time around, they're not even trying to pretend to save money, just wreck shit and burn it to the ground. Meanwhile, a certain someone is busy wasting even more money building vanity projects and scamming people with every scheme he and his demented "friends" can come up with.

The words "fiscal responsibility" aren't in their vocabulary.

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, on second thought. Republicans are shit at saving money too.

[–] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah its not a coincidence at all, its disgusting. Plus with CDC already not trust worthy of information as is everytime something comes out of their mouths.

For real, this happening ? What was that game you grew a virus from a simple cold to a viral assassin resisting antibiotics and one of the symptômes you could assign to it was exactly this : "explosive diarrhea" Was a good game a shame i can't remember the name

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sounds like Pandemic 2, or Plague Inc.

[–] collectif_imaginaire@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Plague Inc, thx all,

I kinda liked this game, and yes it was morbid. But the audio was good also ^^

I got some cherries grown in WI and.. I think they made me sick. I washed them under cold water, but maybe not well enough. Im the only one who ate them in the house. Im on day four of feeling nausea, and ..uh discomfort. Near positive I had a fever yesterday, of course my thermometer battery is dead. The cherries dude. I feel like dog shit for days now since having them. I never get sick. This sucks.

I was gonna call my Dr today, but I really dont want to. I was hoping to feel better today, but.. idk yet.

[–] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 14 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I wouldnt wait with this, I would immediately call you Dr if I were you. Have this documented
