    "Cyclosporiasis is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated by feces containing the parasite. Historically, people would acquire it outside the United States.

    However, of the 190 cases reported to public health authorities between the start of May and the middle of June, 145 involve someone who hasn’t traveled beyond US borders in the last couple of weeks."

    Just say it, the US is a shithole country now so of course we are starting to get awful diseases locally.

        Hmm, thought for sure there would be some racoon dick involved but a nice swamp swim sounds about right.

      5th dimension antimatter fluoride worms. I’m calling it now. That’s why CERN moved the antimatter across campus to flush it into the underworld system.

    Hasn’t there been a “surge of explosive diarrhea” running the country since the 20th of January 2025?

      Wouldn’t this be mother nature helping the US to be a shithole? The disease is nature.

    I didn’t think “explosive diarrhea” was a real term. Not surprising though, water treatment has been failing infrastructure for many years. Flint Michigan put it in the public eye, and it’s gotten much, much worse.

      That and decades of deregulating and vertically integrating the food supply.
