Latest update from USA Today from 4 days ago. Here is also CDC’ s update on the confirmed cases as of July 13th, 2026: https://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.html
My question to others on here: For those who are located in the marked states with the higher cases, have you heard anything or seen any postage in grocery stores, hospitals, restaurants, anything about warning on increasing hygiene practices for prevention of Cyclosporiasis? I’ve not heard anything since first reading about this, I have family who work in the trucking industry, hospitals, and sales ( to name a few), and I have heard zero heads up or warnings about this.
Cases are increasing but there is lag between lab recorded data and data collected from the hospitals. Here is USA today with CDCs data as of July 13th 2026.
Restaurants and fast food chains have taken precautions: good on them, they need to, but there is no word of mouth on anything. Will still keep following up on the news of this.
I can only assume that these are just the reported & confirmed cases. I would expect the real, but unverified, number of infections is much higher with no good way to get accurate numbers. Especially considering that last I heard/read, the source hasn’t been confirmed.
With the elimination of health insurance subsidies this year and substantial across the board increases in rates, millions of people in the USA are no longer insured. Those people are highly unlikely to seek medical help unless/until it’s an emergency. Honestly, millions of people WITH insurance are in the same boat, insured, but using it is cost prohibitive, so they don’t seek help until it’s an emergency.
People are going to go get some loperamide at the store, at best, and try to continue on with life as best they can hoping they don’t end up in the emergency room. Can’t afford to go to the doctor, can’t afford to miss work.
I’m sure thousands of people with weeks/months long diarrhea (and lack of affordable healthcare) handling/serving our food (and everything else) won’t be an issue, though. We are great again after all.
Correct. The CDC map is showing lab-verified cases only.
im on a ACA plan in my state, and ER/urgent is covered but its still pricey per visit. ER has a higher cost.
