Canada and US Investigate Mystery Outbreak of Cyclospora Illnesses

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are conducting an investigation into an increase in “non-travel related Cyclospora illnesses” that has been spreading throughout the country.

PHAC announced that they are working with public health and food safety partners to figure out how the infections might be spreading in Canada.

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis, according to the CDC.

“Previous Cyclospora illnesses have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce, including pre-packaged salad mix, basil, cilantro, berries, lettuce, and snow and snap peas,” PHAC wrote on its website.

As of June 30, the agency reported a total of 84 cases of Cyclospora infections in the following provinces: British Columbia (1), Ontario (75), and Quebec (8).

Four people were hospitalized in Canada, but no deaths were reported, according to Food Poison Journal.

“To date, there is no recall or Public Health Notice, the investigation is ongoing,” the outlet added.

In the US, as of June 28, 2022, there were 61 confirmed cases. Six were hospitalized, with no deaths reported.

Thirteen states have reported cases so far.

Cyclosporiasis illnesses are reported year-round in the United States. However, during the spring and summer months there is often an increase in cyclosporiasis acquired in the United States (i.e., “domestically acquired”). The exact timing and duration of these seasonal increases in domestically acquired cyclosporiasis can vary, but reports tend to increase starting in May. In previous years the reported number of cases peaked between June and July, although activity can last as late as September. The overall health impact (e.g., number of infections or hospitalizations) and the number of identified clusters of cases (i.e., cases that can be linked to a common exposure) also vary from season to season. Previous U.S. outbreaks of cyclosporiasis have been linked to various types of fresh produce, including basil, cilantro, mesclun lettuce, raspberries, and snow peas.

CDC, along with state and federal health and regulatory officials, monitor cases of cyclosporiasis in the United States in the spring and summer months to detect outbreaks linked to a common food source. However, many cases of cyclosporiasis cannot be directly linked to an outbreak, in part because of the lack of validated laboratory “fingerprinting” methods needed to link cases of Cyclospora infection. Officials use questionnaires to interview sick people to determine what they ate in the 14-day period before illness onset. If a commonality is found, CDC and partners work quickly to determine if a contaminated food product is still available in stores or in peoples’ homes and issue advisories.

Here’s what we know about Cyclosporiasis:

What causes cyclosporiasis?
Cyclosporiasis is an illness of the intestines caused by a parasite called Cyclospora.

How is cyclosporiasis spread?
The most common way that Cyclospora is spread is by eating food or drinking water that contains the Cyclospora parasite.

Cyclospora is not common on food and is not in drinking water in Canada.

However, food can be a source of cyclosporiasis for Canadians when imported from countries where Cyclospora is common. Foods imported to Canada that have been linked to the Cyclospora parasite include:

• basil
• cilantro
• raspberries
• blackberries
• mesclun lettuce
• snow and snap peas
• pre-packaged salad mix

Cyclosporiasis is unlikely to spread directly between people because the parasite can only infect others once it leaves the body through feces. To be able to spread, the parasite needs to be outside the body for about 7 to 15 days.

Only humans, and possibly primates, can be affected by Cyclospora. Therefore, cyclosporiasis does not spread between humans and animals.

If you have already had cyclosporiasis, you can get it after recovery if you are exposed to the parasite again.

Where is it found?
Cyclospora can be found in sewage and untreated water. It is found worldwide, but is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas, such as:

• Peru
• Cuba
• India
• Nepal
• Mexico
• Guatemala
• Southeast Asia
• Dominican Republic

How does food and water become contaminated?
The Cyclospora parasite gets in sources of water when feces from infected people enter the water supply. Food can then become contaminated when this water is used:

• on crops
• in food processing and packaging

Foods can also become contaminated from infected farm workers or food handlers. This is when proper sanitation techniques are not used, such as:

• hand washing
• gloves or other barrier
• avoidance of cross-contamination

FUTURE DEMOCRATS: Toddler Takes a Swing At Police Calling Them Racist Names and Telling Them To ‘F*** Off’ (VIDEO)

By Michael Robison
Published July 12, 2022 at 8:45am

A video showing a young child cussing and taking a swing at police officers made its rounds on the internet Monday, giving a picture of the general disrespect for Police in the Minnesota capitol. 

In the video, you can hear the child saying, “F*** off b****!” 

.

You can see the child swinging at the officers as one of them backs away. The child, among a small group of barely clothed children on the street corner, can be heard repeating the profanity many times. 

The older child in the group encourages the youngster to continue his disrespectful behavior while he is heard using the slur “oreo headed” directed at the cops.  

According to the Daily Mail, the St. Paul, Minnesota, officers were in the area to serve a search warrant related to a recent murder. The area has seen a considerable spike in crime since it was the epicenter of the George Floyd riots in 2020. According to some sources, crime in the region has risen as much as 58% in the last two years. 

A negative sentiment regarding police has only grown, as the state’s twin cities are among those to “defund police” in response to George Floyd’s death. 

The video of the children drew lots of attention as it went viral on Twitter Monday. 

“It’s normal to a boy who has been told that his uncle or dad was murdered by the boys in blue. Totally normal,” said one user, who echoed the local sentiment about the police. 

One user, Dr. Jesse Livermore LL.M.,Ph.D., said, “What we have here is a failure to parent.” Livermore added a short clip of adults acting violently, implying that this could be the future of the children in the original video. 

Another person on Twitter said, “This is so pitiful. Absolutely sad that a person ( not parent- because obviously none of that is going on) could teach their child to act like this. It is a learned as much as it is allowed!!”

The majority of respondents to the video were similar, pointing to the children’s actions as learned behavior.

One user said, “Children who act like that live in an environment where their adults act like this on a regular basis.”

“Unfortunately it’s becoming quite normal. Kids reflect what they see, what they hear. Wokeism and political correctness has taught them to demand, to curse, to resist, to hate, to disrespect. Rules of civilized behavior were jettisoned by modern liberalism a decade ago,” said another person.

What a disgrace.

New NYC PSA on “What to Do in a Nuclear Attack” Instructs Citizens to “Get Inside, Stay Inside, and… Follow Media” For Updates – “Officials” Will Notify You “When it’s Safe”

By Julian Conradson

On Monday, the city of New York launched a new public service announcement (PSA) that provides guidelines about what residents should do in the event of a nuclear attack.

Unfortunately, New Yorkers who watch the PSA will likely be severely ill-prepared should a nuclear weapon detonate in their vicinity, as the video provides little in the way of specifics or useful information. Instead, the short clip instructs citizens to follow a rudimentary 3 step plan that leaves them completely reliant on the powers that be to come to the rescue.

According to the PSA, New Yorkers should 1) “Get inside” 2) “Stay inside” and 3) “Stay tuned” – or, as the narrator clarifies, “follow media” – in the event of a nuclear attack. After walking through the steps, the narrator hammers home the last point by commanding that the audience “don’t go outside until officials say it’s safe” to do so.

The video does not address what to do if one requires medical attention or food.

Sounds awfully similar to another step-by-step process that has been pushed recently – wasn’t get inside, stay inside, and don’t come out until the experts deem you can the basis of Covid lockdowns?

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. However, this time we are talking about a nuclear attack – something much more deadly than the fear-porn peddling Covid cultists could ever hope for with the virus.

But, instead of preparing the public for the horrific scenario, the lack of relevant information in the NYC PSA aims to create dependent masses who are reliant on the experts. And, it’s at a time when we are knee-deep in a proxy war with a country that possesses over 4,000 nuclear warheads.

It’s no coincidence this type of PSA is being released with what’s going on in Europe and the Pacific – whether it be to stoke fears or because of a legitimate, burgeoning threat. Nevertheless, the likelihood of a nuclear attack hitting NYC is currently slim to none, even according to the NYC Emergency Management Department, which put the chances of a strike at “very low.”

But, according to NYC’s Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol, the threat of a nuclear strike is “imminent.”

Come again? Iscol either doesn’t know what the word imminent means – “about to happen” – or he knows something we don’t – let’s go with the former.

Iscol issued a statement along with the PSA’s release:

“As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it is important that New Yorkers know we are preparing for any imminent threats and are providing them with the resources they need to stay safe and informed.”

Despite claiming that the department is “providing resources” to inform the people, this is simply not the case. Arguably, the only useful bits of information provided in the entire video are instructions to “get clean immediately” and “bag and separate clothing” if you were outside during the blast.

“If you were outside after the blast, get clean immediately. Remove and bag all outer clothing, to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body,” the PSA explained.

Surely, there is more useful information that could be shared – for example, the PSA tells people to shelter inside and avoid windows. It does not, however, tell them to seal off all gaps and exits to keep radioactive materials out of the building – something that’s necessary if an individual is planning on sheltering in place for an extended period, even if it’s just a few days. But, no. All New Yorkers get from their emergency preparedness department is essentially to ‘sit tight for instructions and don’t ask questions.’

In other words, relying on the ‘officials’ will seemingly get you nowhere, and fast. A quick google search would do more to educate than the new PSA.

Making things even worse, the narrator of the video has a shockingly glib attitude toward the catastrophic situation she is describing. In just one example, she opens the video by stating “so, there’s been a nuclear attack,” as if it’s something that happens daily, before telling the watcher “don’t ask me how or why – just know that the big one has hit. Ok?”

She then rolls into the step-by-step explainer by nonchalantly saying “so, what do we do?”

As usual – Don’t ask questions, the experts will take care of it. It’s for your health.

After instructing the audience to remain dependent on the experts for direction yet again, she closes the PSA on an equally glib note, telling the audience: “All right? You’ve got this.”

Beach in Iowa closed after brain-eating amoeba confirmed in Missourian

Symptoms of Naegleria fowleri include seizures and hallucinations

By Julia

A rare brain infection has led Iowa officials to close a Taylor County beach.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources said the temporary closure is a precautionary response to a confirmed infection of Naegleria fowleri in a Missouri resident who had recent potential exposure while swimming at the beach at Lake of Three Fires State Park.

Testing to confirm the presence of the "brain-eating amoeba" is being conducted in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and could take several days to complete. 

The department wrote that it is working closely with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services and would share updates as test results become available.

No additional suspected cases are under investigation in Iowa.

In its own statement, The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services wrote that the Missouri patient is currently being treated for primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in an intensive care unit of a hospital.

It said the source of the patient's exposure is being investigated and that local and out-of-state activity are being considered. 

The only other case identified among a Missouri resident occurred in 1987 and no other suspected cases of PAM are being reviewed there.

"These situations are extremely rare in the United States and in Missouri specifically, but it’s important for people to know that the infection is a possibility so they can seek medical care in a timely manner if related symptoms present," Dr. George Turabelidze, Missouri’s state epidemiologist, said in a statement.

Naegleria fowleri (commonly referred to as the "brain-eating amoeba" or "brain-eating ameba"), is a free-living microscopic ameba*, (single-celled living organism). It can cause a rare** and devastating infection of the brain called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC))

PROSOPAGNOSIA: WHAT IS THE FACE BLINDNESS CONDITION THAT BRAD PITT SAYS HE HAS

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said on Facebook Friday that it is strongly believed by public health experts that the lake is a likely source and that additional public water sources in Missouri are being tested.

Missourians are warned to take caution when swimming and diving in warm freshwater and assume the presence of Naegleria fowleria in those conditions.

Since 1962, only 154 known cases have been identified in the U.S.

PAM is not contagious, but can be life-threatening.

Naegleria fowleria, the free-living microscopic single-celled living organism that causes PAM, is commonly found in lakes, rivers, hot springs and soil. 

It usually infects people when contaminated water enters the nose and the amoeba travels to the brain.

In very rare instances, infections may also occur when contaminated water from other sources enters the nose, but a person cannot be infected from swallowing contaminated water.

Symptoms of infection include severe headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, seizures, altered mental status and hallucinations.
