  1. In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

    Because the #Trump admin and the #CDC don't want to admit what the core of the problem is:

    industrial-scale food production on factory-scale farms, all sending such a vast volume of food product into factory-scale food processing plants that quality control of any sort is impossible

    Farm it, ship it, package it for retail-wholesale, ship it out to the retail food industry as fast as possible

    Deal with repercussions only after evading discovery for as long as possible

  3. How your #cat can contract #BirdFlu without seeing a bird

    New data reveals unexpected infection pathways to #HouseholdPets

    By Serena Summer

    Excerpt: "The CDC report details two confirmed cases of indoor domestic cats contracting bird flu, with both felines belonging to #DairyWorkers who had previously displayed symptoms consistent with the virus. Prior to the cats becoming ill, their owners had experienced symptoms including #vomiting and #diarrhea. Although the owners declined testing for bird flu, laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of the virus in both cats, with one eventually dying from the infection.

    "This finding represents a significant development in our understanding of #AvianInfluenza #transmission, as it suggests that #humans may serve as intermediary hosts capable of passing the virus to household pets. Previously, most concern centered on direct transmission from infected birds to mammals, but these cases indicate more complex transmission patterns may exist.

    "The indoor setting of these infections is particularly noteworthy, as it eliminates the possibility of direct contact with infected #WildBirds, which had been considered the primary transmission route for cats in previous outbreaks."

  5. #Missouri {human} #birdflu case is a 'one-off' & public #risk is still low, officials say, abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStor

    The person had #chest pain, #nausea, #vomiting, #diarrhea & weakness & was hospitalized on Aug. 22 “for reasons related to their underlying medical conditions,” Shah said... "Ultimately, a full {virus genes} sequence may not be technically feasible," Shah said.

  6. There's apparently a trendy movement promoting the consumption of #rawMilk based on the false notion that #unpasteurized #milk is somehow healthier (#naturalisticFallacy).

    Raw milk is not healthier than #pasteurized milk, and it can cause issues like #nausea, #diarrhea, #vomiting or, in some cases, #seriousIllness. Don't subject yourself and your family to unnecessary danger for the sake of adhering to a misguided and misinformed trend.
