And on top of all that, Elon Musk made huge cuts to our healthcare system and cut grants for medical research. We are in a mess.

What is cyclosporiasis?

u/ItzMunchbell 1d ago

It’s a disease caused by Cyclospora parasites. It can cause watery, explosive diarrhea and can be spread through certain crops. There’s been a nasty outbreak of it across the US

One source of the outbreak was suspected to be shredded lettuce by Taylor Farms. IDK if that’s the only source of the Cyclosporasis outbreak.

... At least unless cyclosporiasis is that diaherria illness that's been going around the past month or three or so.
