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.
I love this
MASA - Make America Shit Again
Running down the gutter with a piece of bread and butter
Diarrhea 💨💨
The dripping is all yellow and it smells a little funky
Gonorrhea 🍆 🍑
Wait
Some people think it’s funny but it’s really wet and runny
Diarrhea 💨💨
When you’re sitting in a Chevy and your shorts are feeling heavy… Diarrhea!
When sitting on your tushy and your pants are feeling mushy… diarrhea!
and realize you arnt wearing a diaper.
When you’re climbing up a ladder and you hear something splatter. Diarrhea, diarrhea
When you’re driving in a Chevy and you feel something heavy.
“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.
Yep. The Huffington Post reported that monitoring of cyclospora was stopped when. DAGE gutted the CDC.
By Elon’s intern, BigBlownOutAss.
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.
there was a ton of respiratory illness every few months after RFK jr stop all reccommended vaccinations/ montiring.
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?
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.
We tried that and now our city says no can’t have garden unless you’re zoned for that. Totally bullshit!
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
Thank you. I look into this.
Yeah, these states started getting really nippy with that after Covid. Its all control
What shithole doesn’t let you have a garden? I need to never go there.
Same, Im not growing to any kind of scale, but I practice gardening every year.
Growing your own food is an act of revolution.
Dd you save the seeds for next year or just do different crops each year?
It depends. My peas I kept going for a while saving seed, nearly four seasons. Last winter water got into my garden bin, and … the seeds didnt fair well at all, got moldy. So no peas this year
My pumpkins do really well. I dont even save the seed, I just bury the seeds in fall with a bit of pumpkin flesh and they pop back up every year. This method seems to work well with cherry tomatoes too. It like forced volunteers. I encourage volunteers because they honestly seem to do best in my garden.
Im not, uh, methodical about what I am doing, Id probably shock a serious gardener with how I go about it. I do buy starts in the spring usually. I used to start from seed every year, but I really just dont have the space in the house for it right now, it does annoy me. The day my son moves out, his room will be becoming my plant room lol.
So I only plant seeds that can be sown directly outside in spring (like peas) and everything else is starts. Mostly growing potatoes this year. I put some eyed out potatoes I got from the store in the ground, and by god, potatoes are amazing.
I do have some heriloom corn im growing for the first time. Im going to attempt to save its seed proper this year. Every year is a different expierement!
how about you?
We just started this year but my mother and I are experimenting with it. Not from seeds but we got the plants of Basil, roma and cherry tomatoes, one jalapeno plant, 2 bell pepper plants, three sweet potato plants and a cucumber (can’t remember the name of it)
We’ve only harvested one good cucumber so far, and a couple of jalapeno peppers along with the bell peppers, but got alot of cherry tomatoes. Omg the cherries taste amazing.
cherry tomatoes right off the vine! there is nothing so tasty!
lots of variety, love it! good luck in the remainder of the season :)
I started growing our own produce
And meats?
For where im at, I could keep chicken in a coup but everything else i would have to get it from a butcher. For now, we’re focusing on produce to nail that first
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.
Cholera here we come
Hmm, if I read the list correctly, it’s mostly red states. Funny coincidence?
Some people think it’s funny but it’s really wet and runny.

I think the worst part of that code is that it uses JavaScript.

There’s a NEW Jersey now?
I call bullshit.
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
Sounds like Pandemic 2, or Plague Inc.
I played a bit of Plague Inc during the Pandemic, but wasn’t able to play as much Pandemic (table top), due to the lockdown. Instead I downloaded a copy of Lockdown and played that.
Plague Inc, thx all,
I kinda liked this game, and yes it was morbid. But the audio was good also ^^
They already during covid released a free update that includes defending the world against a deadly disease.
Ohhh I know exactly what your talking about. I think it was called Plague Inc. Kinda morbid
Best way to win was to keep devolving symptoms and making it as contagious as possible. Then when everyone was infected make it as deadly as possible. Everybody dies before a cure is found.
That’s exactly how I usually play it too :)
Plague
We eventually found the cause…
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.
I wouldnt wait with this, I would immediately call you Dr if I were you. Have this documented
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
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.
I go see her tomorrow. I might not have called without this push, thank you, really.
“here’s my poop bag doctor” lmao
I know this feeling all too well, glad you did right by yourself. And remember, even if you’re doctor says, “there’s nothing we can do, just rest and let your body recover itself,” it was still worth doing to be safe.
I hope everything turns out well.
Mail it in a flimsy envelope to RFKs office.
… and God smite the Americans with pestilence because everyone was getting real sick of their bullshit.
Smited? Smote? I bet God smote.
This will get worse if there is no bidet installed.
The local news said Cyclosporiasis is treated with an antibiotic.
Uh, how is a parasite treated with an antibiotic again?
Well, many people Incorrectly refer to all anti-(parasite, fungal, viral and bacterial/biotic) as the same thing, rather than as anti-infective or anti-microbial as is more correct for a broad term.
At least we aren’t using the Anthelmintic (worm killer, derived from a bacterial neurotoxin) ivermectin to treat a virus, wich has no nervous system.
What’s your confusion? Antibiotics are a pretty common treatment for some types of parasites, including single-celled organisms like the one that causes cyclosporiasis.
Actually not. This is a protozoa. Most anti-bacterials won’t work.
The treatment is Septra, but only in extreme cases.
Cause the news is stupid
Does vodka help?
No, alcohol doesn’t wash/kill Cyclospora. This means Vodka doesn’t help which shows you how serious this is
Only way to kill it apparently is to boil your produce before eating. Idk man… I dont trust nothing
What about like a lot of vodka, and only vodka. Like 3 days at 0.30.
with what exactly?
cyclospora is also resistant to bleach, it would be very tough to kill it.
With cucumbers, for example. Pickled cucumbers go nicely with vodka.
Only bleach or UV lights used rectally help
its resistant to bleach
There hasnt been anything said about vodka killing it but…
Idk about that, im not a fan of pickled cucumbers😐
They taste almost like pickles.
Cause they are pickles XD
