Episode Details

Louisiana’s grappling with a spike in cyclosporiasis cases—100 confirmed so far—with six hospitalized, though no deaths. This parasite, notorious for causing explosive diarrhea, peaks between May and August. Health officials are ramping up surveillance, releasing weekly updates including one next Wednesday, August 5th. While numbers are rising, they’re not as severe as in other states. Experts urge caution: wash all produce thoroughly—even pre-washed items—scrub firm fruits, remove bruised spots, and refrigerate cut or cooked food within two hours. If you’re feeling sick, see a doctor and be ready to share your recent meals. Stay vigilant to keep your crew healthy.
