"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.

...sharting to get awful diseases...am I right?!?

[–] foxwolf@pawb.social 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Does this have anything to do with how we deregulated all the food production and gutted the FDA and replaced everyone there with lobbiests from the companies that produce food? Or something like that?

Yeah, that's just the free market. The invisible hand.

While this doesn't happen often, it's not unheard of. You might remember an outbreak from 2018 linked to salads sold by McDonald's.

See? Not the first time. Last time it happened was 2 years into-

A true shitpost. As I’m taking a shit, no less. Bravo.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In all honesty, you should probably leave it behind.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Oh nos, better ask RFK what we should do. I'm sure he will know the answer...

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Go for a swim in a cesspool to build up your tolerance



Obviously

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

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Quick everyone jump in the reflecting pool

Even Mother Nature is exposing the US is a shithole.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

Hasn't there been a "surge of explosive diarrhea" running the country since the 20th of January 2025?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

that's technically a bolus of explosive diarrhea

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 weeks ago

At this point, the shitpost comm is going to be able to just actually focus on literal shit related stories.

reality is enshitttifying aughguhah!

Headline hits differently if you read it while on the toilet.

Especially if you have diarrhea 🤣

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Who needs a poop knife, I have diarrhea!

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

It's and old reference, sir, but it checks out.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Sirdubdee@piefed.social 13 points 3 weeks ago

The Noah Kahan concert I incident makes more sense now.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 10 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I've been using a water filter to filter my tap water for years, because tap water tastes nasty.

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, BITCHES! I mean, not me because things still suck, but at least I'm reasonably sure I won't get a disease after my city reduced funding for water treatment.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk what kind of water filter you're using, but it's probably not filtering out bacteria.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's a sawyer, and both marketing materials and real world testing say otherwise. Personal experience also tells me my filter is keeping me healthy while my neighbors don't even bother listening to boil advisories.

water filters won't filter out bacteria or viruses. Most of them just remove chloride ions, which then encourages bacterial growth.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

My tap water goes through months of smelling funny at a time where I get nervous that it is unsafe to drink. I thought about buying a filter for the tap like a Brita filter or something...but my (admittedly very minimal) research showed that these only filter out things like mineral contaminants. Bacteria and other pathogens don't seem to get filtered out by most standard filters that people are using. It's just that they filter out the hard water.

What do you use?

[–] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think the only real answer is RO and UV filtration.

RO won't remove everything, but UV will kill everything.

I'm not Chief O'Brien but I use a reverse-osmosis water filter installed under the sink, that has its own drinking water tap. It has 6 or 7 stages of filters and a pressurized tank to hold a few gallons of filtered water. And it does remove bacteria, chlorine, fluoride, lead, and pretty much everything but water. I installed it about 10 years ago and it was a fantastic investment. It cost under $200 if I recall, and the yearly cost for filters is about $50 to $100 to have unlimited pure water. Filters must be replaced every 6-12 months, except for some like the RO membrane that lasts 2-3 years.

I used to live outside of Dallas and they had an algae bloom during the summer in whatever reservoir that would make the ice maker reek of garlic for a few months a year in the summer.

It's just Trump on a rally tour again. Explosive Diarrhea is his SS codename.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Make America healthy again, huh.

haha

[–] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

That really is an unfortunate title.

Huh... I thought that was just people setting off fireworks early.

Edit: So immediately after posting this comment, I got a text from my apartment management about not setting off fireworks in the complex. Spooky.
