The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

@tacobell.bsky.social I live in Michigan and have Cyclosporiasis. And yes, I ate Taco Bell several times over the last month. I was happy to see that you pulled the lettuce from your food voluntarily but want to know if you are going to change suppliers? Unless I know that, I can't return.

Fox vs. PBS - How two networks covered the dramatic increase in cyclosporiasis cases. Fox described the parasite but didn't provide additional information. The PBS News Hour included an expert, Dr. Omer Awan, who said cuts to the CDC have made the outbreak much worse.

The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.

1) I was in the hospital for 5 days with dizziness and intestinal problems. I figured it was the Cyclospora parasite at first since I live in Michigan. They did test for it eventually but no one ever told me anything. It wasn't until I accessed my test results that it was confirmed. I have it.

UNFUN FACT: The 2026 FIFA World Cup features 48 teams co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Of the 48 participating nations, the United States is the only one without a universal health care system.
