So, like, if you want to eat vegetables, maybe you could grill them, stuff like that.
And then, you know, I do think in general, this whole episode is a really good reminder about how important food hygiene is.
Because, like, if you do take...
Careful steps to like really thoroughly wash your food.
Even the like green leafy vegetables that we worry might be contaminated with this parasite.
Like there's a really good chance that you can get rid of it and eat that stuff that is obviously really good for your body's health in general and not have to worry about getting debilitating diarrhea.
I will say that, like...
The state health departments are definitely taking the lead on this outbreak, which is unusual.
Usually, especially when you're dealing with a multi-state outbreak, as we seem to be at this point, you would expect the CDC and the federal government to be taking the lead.
But the CDC's case counts have lagged pretty far behind what the states have been reporting at this point.
I was told by a hospital epidemiologist in Michigan that last year the federal government stopped asking states to report cyclospora cases.
So that may explain why there's been this lag in federal data.
Yeah, and so it's like...
Again, I'd want to emphasize that this could have happened no matter what.
Food surveillance in the United States has been lacking for a long time, well before the cuts we've seen to the federal workforce under the Trump administration here in the last couple years.
But at the same time, now that we are dealing with a live, active emergency—
It certainly doesn't help to have a CDC and federal health authorities who seem to be a step behind.
It doesn't help that the fact that there's fewer workers, fewer resources that the CDC and federal government can spend responding to this outbreak.
So the truth is somewhere here and there in the middle where it's like –
So they're doing what they can.
