Last update: 10 hours agoCyclospora Outbreak (Michigan): Federal health officials say shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico is contaminated with Cyclospora, the parasite behind a multistate “explosive” diarrhea outbreak that has hit Michigan hard; the FDA/CDC-linked advisory so far targets Taco Bell-linked cases in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia, while Taylor Farms has now expanded a voluntary recall to 27 states (including Michigan) for specific shredded lettuce and salad mix products with “best by” dates into early August. Food Safety (What to do): Consumers are urged to discard recalled Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce immediately and avoid eating bagged salads/produce tied to the implicated supply chain while investigators continue tracing distribution. Air Quality (Detroit-area workers): Canadian wildfire smoke plus intense heat sent dozens of workers to medical units at Ford plants in Michigan, with companies providing masks and urging employees with breathing issues to seek care. Wildfire Smoke Guidance: Experts say running AC is generally okay if it recirculates indoor air and avoids fresh-air intake during unhealthy smoke conditions; EPA also recommends filtration and N95 use outdoors. Local Health & Wellness (Pain): A physician explains why joint and chronic pain can flare with rain and barometric pressure shifts, noting it usually reflects irritated nerves/tissues rather than new damage.
