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

[-] Frenchgeek@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

Well...How much did Trump deregulate water treatment and food production exactly?

[-] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

In the American dictatorship all citizens are required to have the same explosive diarrhea as their great leader Trump.

"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 40 points 2 days ago

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 18 hours ago

just warned people to avoid anything known to cause illnesses

So, US food basically.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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 1 day 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.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

there was a ton of respiratory illness every few months after RFK jr stop all reccommended vaccinations/ montiring.

[-] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 8 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Archimedes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours 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)

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.

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

Sounds like Pandemic 2, or Plague Inc.

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

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

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I read online they test your poop. I know its silly but I dont wanna do it :(

Ive already had four invasive procedures (hello pap smears and mamograms) in the last few months, and I think I am starting to feel better today.

Youre so right. I know your right, I dont think my monkey brain is gonna let me. I got some ginger beer and some rest in. My husband is home tomorrow, I will heed this advice tomorrow, he has said the same to me, I promise, tomorrow. Thanks for caring <3

Edit: Im calling rn god dammit

[-] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 8 points 2 days ago

For the poop testing, its not invasive. You give them your actual poop and they test it, but your doctor would have to request for the test.

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I go see her tomorrow. I might not have called without this push, thank you, really.

"here's my poop bag doctor" lmao
