Hello, I'm sorry to be here on this occasion.
Yeah, so there's no good way to talk about this.
Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that causes pretty bad intestinal illness, and the illness is called cyclosporiasis.
So people get it by consuming food or water that's contaminated with this parasite.
The CDC suspects there may be close to 7,000 cases already nationwide.
Michigan makes up the bulk of those.
And on Wednesday, their case count was just updated to more than 3,700 cases.
Just for context, in a typical year, states might report a handful of cases to a few dozen.
So this is really unusual.
The actual case count is almost certainly higher.
Both the CDC and outside experts have said this.
And it's because most people don't seek medical care when they get diarrhea.
We're not all going out and calling our doctors about our bathroom habits.
And, you know, even when they do, labs don't routinely test for this parasite.
But now that there's awareness about it out there, if you do have symptoms, you should definitely be asking your doctor to get tested specifically for this.
Yeah, so this is not like a one and done type of thing.
This is like...
you know, can be days, possibly up to a week or two of diarrhea.
And one of the big concerns with
this prolonged diarrhea is dehydration.
