Transcript

Hi, this is July the seventh, 2026 and I'm correcting myself. The CDC has also issued that in Michigan there's been about 500 plus cases of the Cyclospora infection. It's basically what the parasite does is it makes you very sick. It causes you to throw up, um, have explosive diarrhea, um, abdominal cramping, sorry, and also fever. Um, as of right now, it can be treated. It's not something that's new, of course, but I urge everybody that's drinking tap water to boil your water because Michigan is not that far and I don't know what's going on, but the cases are becoming higher and higher as we speak. Um, I don't know if something was contaminated and no one's saying anything, this is obviously speculation, um, not 100% true, whether or not, you know, why it's outbreaking, but I would definitely be careful. Make sure your fruits and your vegetables, um, you're cleaning them down properly and boiling your tap water. Um, I'm in Jersey and Michigan is not that far and I don't know what's going on, but the cases are becoming higher and higher as we speak. Um, I don't know if something was contaminated and no one's saying anything, this is obviously speculation, um, not 100% true, whether or not, you know, why it's outbreaking, but I would definitely be careful. Make sure your fruits and your vegetables, um, you're cleaning them down properly and boiling your tap water.
