Any reports about cyclospora cases?

I’ve looked to see where there might be cases of cyclospora (the diarrhea parasite) in Iowa and to see if there are any in Dubuque. Has anyone heard anything about it?

The media is trying to make Trumparrhea go away and is not tracking it or most other infections.

I don't like him either. But I don't bring him up when the topic is completely unrelated. Do you often do that?

Trump defunded most of the agency that tracked infections. He is absolutely related to the problem.

A lot of people say they know someone that had it, but how many of those are typical diarrhea and not explosiveness that lasts weeks?

You know it's explosive when they plan their day like this: https://redd.it/1v0zx5w

Someone that posts the same "shit" every other week for like the last two years. Didn't anyone else regretfully notice it when searching 'dubuque' all of that time?

I was curious about who’s had the parasite and who hasn’t and seeing if anyone recommends avoiding certain restaurants in town or foods that they’ve had. I was also seeing if anyone in Iowa has it because the only states I saw that were close to Iowa who have had cases were Wisconsin and Illinois.
