"Cyclosporiasis is caused by a single-cell parasite that’s carried in human feces. It gets into food when water contaminated with feces is sprayed on crops. Once on plants, in the humid environment of a farm field, it begins to multiply, said Dr. David Freedman, professor emeritus of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. It can often be a problem for travelers, though the CDC says the cases currently under investigation did not report travel in the two weeks before they got sick."

The disease is endemic in places like India, and historically most cases in the US were from people who visited the likes of India or Haiti on vacation then come back. But now it's linked to produce grown in the US with most victims claiming to have not traveled recently.

I wonder what could have caused this...

SAAR

When you made this post the other day, I was gonna post this, but I got distracted:

Michigan has been hit the hardest so far, so I'm gonna have to say it's @OliverHeldens eating too much Taco Bell.

Bro, and then I just read this. Unbelievable.

Fucking brutal int it? I think I got it off some strawberries.

How’s your guys’ poop?


Mine is 10/10 healthy

Where is Thunderpants when we need him

disgusting

Damn you got that shit? Sorry to hear. How long does it last?

fuck. makes me ill thinking about it...watery diarrhea primary symptom explosive and uncontrollable

seems to emanate from the midwest (check airports, farms, restaurants, etc.) michigan has high number of cases and muslims in dearborn traveling back and forth might be cause.

time to go keto.


EDIT: also lot of muslims in ohio

The brownification of America continues :(

I WOULD BET THAT IT IS IMPORTED VEGETABLES....likely being imported to immigrant-grocers OR low-rent neighborhood grocers who don't care about the supply chain...just buy cheapest all the time. You see these really shitty grocery stores and nothing looks the same as Kroger or whatever.

Could be weeks apparently. Going to the doctors on Monday.

Fuark. That's brootal. Even on antibiotics it takes 1-2 weeks to clear up. U wot?

Bro I wouldn't wait until Monday, I'd do an urgent clinic so I can get the meds started asap.

Meh, I'll see if I get round to it. The fatigue is fucking me up more than anything. Keep falling asleep every five minutes. Srs.

Hope it's that and not lyme or some shit.

Omg it's like a full-on flu. Drink a lot of fluids with electrolytes. Sorry to hear man. Feel better.

Oddly enough I haven't been shitting rusty water. So I may not have it. But I have been shitting more than usual.

Fucking hate going to the doctors though. Sick bastards. They can strip you naked and play with you.

toughen up fagget i was going on 10 mile runs while i had lyme

Bring in the 3rd world you bring in 3rd world problems.

It's like this, so many diseases were all but eliminated and then when whole caravans of illegals started flooding in now it's an issue. Things like TB, lepracy, measels and even polio. Of course, the left blames the "antivaxers" but the math doesn't math with that. Another funny coincidence is how these diseases are at least starting but more common in areas with a lot of illegal immigrants.

lol miscers are very easy to manipulate, all you need to do is blame whoever it's currently in fashion to hate (now it's Indians) and count on the fact most are gullible and have no critical thinking.


Why Cyclosporiasis Is On the Rise1. Better Diagnostic TechnologyFor a long time, Cyclospora was notoriously difficult to find. Traditional stool tests for food poisoning often missed it entirely because technicians had to use specialized acid-fast staining techniques.Today, laboratories heavily rely on Gastrointestinal PCR (polymerase chain reaction) Panel Tests. These highly sensitive molecular panels screen for dozens of pathogens simultaneously. Because doctors are ordering these comprehensive panels more frequently, cases that previously would have been written off as a generic "stomach bug" are now accurately diagnosed as cyclosporiasis.

2. Climate Change and Extreme WeatherCyclospora is a heat-loving parasite. Warmer average temperatures and longer summers globally create ideal conditions for the parasite to survive and mature in the environment. Furthermore, intense rainfall and flooding events can overwhelm agricultural infrastructure, washing human sewage or contaminated irrigation water directly onto crop fields.

3. Year-Round Supply Chains for Fresh ProduceBecause Americans expect fresh produce year-round, the supply chain increasingly relies on imports from tropical and subtropical regions where Cyclospora is endemic (native to the environment). The parasite binds tightly to the nooks and crannies of raw produce and cannot be easily washed off with water. Implicated foods typically include:Fresh herbs (cilantro, basil) Berries (raspberries, blackberries) Leafy greens (mesclun mixes, romaine, iceberg lettuce)

Historical Spikes and OutbreaksThe U.S. has experienced major cyclical spikes in the past. Public health investigations into Cyclospora have historically reshaped agricultural and import rules.1996–1997 (The Guatemalan Raspberry Outbreaks): This was the first major series of outbreaks that put Cyclospora on the map in North America. More than 1,000 people across the U.S. and Canada became ill from contaminated raspberries imported from Guatemala. It resulted in strict seasonal bans and revamped sanitary protocols for imported berries. 2013 (Multistate Salad and Mix Outbreak): An outbreak sickened over 600 people across 25 states. The CDC traced the infections back to bagged salad mixes served at major restaurant chains and pre-packaged grocery products.2018–2019 (The Modern Surge): The number of cases began climbing sharply about a decade ago, culminating in a major surge in 2018 and 2019. In 2019, an outbreak tied to imported Mexican basil sickened more than 2,400 people across the country, highlighting how a single widely distributed ingredient can trigger massive geographical spikes.


99.99% of all cases comes from the Americas, but let's not as usual let the truth come in the way of a nice echo chamber misc thread. Do miscers know how to research or read?

Yep I can’t get out of EMS soon enough constantly being exposed to the most disgusting human garbage (white people too) I’m constantly having to go in places with bed bugs hot needles and filth everywhere. The bottom 10% of people has essentially ruined everything for everybody.

Yeah I totally get it. I've known a lot of people in the medical field who say the same thing. A lot of people go into the medical field for very honorable reasons, and they imagine themselves helping the sick and all of that but then get jaded quick by all the addicts and absolute trash that ruins them.

billionaires = good
migrants = bad

So when these migrant farm hands and homeless people need to take a dump, do you think they stop what they are doing and find a restroom or even a portopotty? Nah, they go wherever they are.

If you ever do find yourself in a place where you need to go and can't get to the restroom, there is a way to handle it, the easiest is to burry it. Even cats know this.

Fuk data centers and fuk meta, but lets be real here. I think that's why they are blaming data centers and meta, becasue they know there is already a lot of hate there. Just like they blame Trump on so many things going on, they know it's easy to get people on board the BS Buss.

If there is a toilet nearby, do you think they would still want to poop outside?

That is the fault of the employer and their greed not providing adequate facilities. You see how in every argument it's very easy to blame migrants despite the fact it's white people importing/employing them in order to fulfil their own greedy purposes?

They probably wouldn't.

You guys see Taco Bell removed like five or six ingredients as a result of this outbreak?

That is interesting. Def not something they would do if not needed. They are getting ahead of a law suit. Or at least trying.

source?

That shit (no pun intended) could literally kill u stone dead. Good luck ever recovering dead srs

I got sepsis a few years ago and I'm only back to 90% obviously not the same thing but sortof

The hell is this thread about. Is there shit in the water now? Didn't read thread cause I'm a bastart
