For [Monroe County [Michigan] resident Brian] Clare, a grain and beef farmer, coping with the illness has required bringing rolls of toilet paper with him atop his tractor. And if the moment calls, "pop a squat in the middle of the field".
So he's just admitted that he's furthering the spread of this disease? Can anyone sanction this fucking idiot?
I went from 😂 to 😰 real quick
It gets worse. The FDA identified where the cyclospora was coming from, then said "actually never mind, they're perfect" after realizing the company had donated $3mil to conservatives
According to campaign contribution records from the Federal Election Commission, Taylor Farms has donated more than $3.8 million to conservative-aligned groups this decade.
"I've not got time to go to no freaking doctor," he said. "Most farmers try to self-medicate anyway. We don't have the best insurance in the world."
sigh
🤣
Turns slowly to face the camera, grimacing
No better way to exemplify the trump regime...
I didn't expect it to be so literal
But genocide no matter what.

Shitler
How deserved, elect shit and you will just become shit
Why is no one mentioning that cyclospora has no vector, it's human fecal oral. So who is shitting on the lettuce?
It's a wee bit complicated:
The pathogen is persistent. The oocyst (transmission form) can survive in soil for a very long time (months or even years).
It's also very small and can be carried by wind or water etc.
Standard washing and disinfecting of food has no effect on the oocyst. The the oocyst are strongly protected and remain dormant until inside a host.
The host range for the pathogen is unknown. It is found very rarely in animals so adequate screening is very difficult.
Genetically it undergoes sexual reproduction. This means that the population is naturally heterozygous and constantly changing. Unlike bacterial or viral infections you can not isolate a strain and link infections. This makes determining a source extremely complicated.
Most cases of infection are theorized to be mild.
I love that for them
I ordered a burger yesterday, It comes with lettuce. I ordered it with no lettuce.
it gets everywhere.... the bins the hands. I would just stop eating fast food for many reasons. Just sayin
Sounds like the next disaster movie in the making..

I don’t appreciate your sarcasm, sorry.
