This might be just something that we have to deal with from time to time because of these food systems that we've set up and because of what's happening with the planet.
So it looks like we're getting closer to figuring that out.
For the past week, health officials in Michigan had said, we think this is linked to lettuce or bagged salad, but they hadn't gotten much more specific than that.
And then on Thursday evening, the Washington Post reported that CDC and FDA officials were zeroing in specifically on iceberg lettuce that had been supplied to Taco Bell
by the company Taylor Farms.
They thought that that potentially that specific product and that specific brand being sold at that particular restaurant might be the source of the ongoing diarrhea outbreak.
Now, they haven't
confirm this for sure.
It is possible, like there's cyclospora cases all over the country this summer.
It could be that we're dealing with a couple of different outbreaks.
But in terms of the big crisis in Michigan and Ohio and a couple of those neighboring states, it appears, according to this preliminary reporting, that if you ate at Taco Bell and got a dish with iceberg lettuce, that might be why you ended up getting sick.
You might have to deal with diarrhea because you're eating Taco Bell for other reasons.
And we don't have to get into that right now.
But it appears that in this case, they just got unlucky.
They were sourcing this particular ingredient from this particular company and got a batch that was contaminated with cyclospora.
And, you know, it could have ended up at a grocery store or at a different restaurant.
But it turned out in this case to end up at Taco Bell.
And so, yeah, as best as we know, sitting here today, that seems to be the most likely source for this outbreak.
There's lots of things, like, you know, obviously anything that's not a fruit or vegetable that you could eat.
Heat is a really good way to kill this parasite.
