UPDATE from Michigan on diarrhea outbreak: - Early information shows lettuce as a common product that regularly comes up during investigation - BUT no specific type of produce, grower or supplier has been identified as the source - other food items cannot be completely ruled out yet

Considering I’m severely immune compromised and my partner has a sulfa allergy (as we recently and unfortunately found out) it’s cooked food only for us from here on out. Nothing it worth the risk with this parasite for us. It’s abhorrent how the gov has allowed all these people to get so sick.

- Michigan, which is reporting quicker than other states, has over 2,600 cyclosporiasis cases - Number of cases in a month in Michigan is over 50 times the *annual* baseline for the state - US typically sees around 3,000-4,000 cases a year, Michigan's data suggests the record will be shattered

This is what happens when disreputable farmers support ICE and farm laborers are too scared to demand fair treatment like porta-potties. Then throw in DOGE gutting the FDA, and here we are.
