It is spreading fast with cases now confirmed in more than 30 states.
And to break down what's actually going on, what officials know and still don't know, and where we're going from here, we're joined by Wired's Emily Mullen.
Emily, thank you so much for being here.

I mean, I have to say there's diarrhea and there's diarrhea.
Like what we're hearing this cause is just like something... There's this...
This is... No, no, no.
I need everyone to really understand this is so much more than that.
This isn't like a couple of bad bowel movements.
This is... I heard accounts of one man who said that he was on the toilet 40 times in one day.

Leah-wide moratorium, 100%.
So I feel like we can't really talk about this without talking about government cuts in the health care space.
You reported on CDC's Food Net cutbacks last year.

They've said that this reporting has continued through other systems, et cetera, et cetera.
To what extent, though, do cuts actually play a role?
Can we blame Doge for how bad this has gotten?
