Diarrhea Outbreak Solved by Buying Canadian

TLDR Health Canada > CDC+FDA. Don't eat American produce if you don't wanna poop your pants.

By February 2026, USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service had lost 913 staff, while the Food and Nutrition Service lost 564. The agency’s National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection was also axed. All told, more than 20,000 workers left USDA last year.

Cyclosporiasis is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis, a single-celled parasite that lives exclusively in humans and causes particularly violent and long-lasting diarrhea. Infection is almost always through ingesting food or water contaminated with feces containing cyclospora oocysts; these take many days to become infectious, so person-to-person transmission is very unlikely.

In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money.

PS:

IMO we're going to see quality control issues in every single American export. I would be extremely wary of using medications or medical devices produced in the USA. With no government entities enforcing regulations we have to assume corners will be cut at the expense of quality and safety.

The problem with all of this, is that the average Trump voter is too stupid to make the connection between Trump's policy decisions, and their painfully obvious outcomes.

well ivermectine deals with parasites, I believe Trump's Diarrhea is caused by Cyclosporiasis which is a parasite so that may actually help...

yes, but you need to load it in a gun and aim straight through the eye

No cyclosporiasis is a parasite of protozoan origin like giardia but unlike giardiasis is not susceptible to metronidazole but does respond to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole AKA Bactrim. Ivermectin is an antihelmintic so it does not work on protozoan infections.

They poop their pants anyway, what’s the issue with pooping their pants a little more?

The problem with all of this, is that the average Trump US voter is too stupid to make the connection between Trump's US policy decisions, and their painfully obvious outcomes.

Sorry internet person. The yanks had their chances. Many of them. They chose this. Trump is a symptom.

If facts make you want to label me a "bigoted fuckhead", so be it.

But I don't think you know what bigoted means.

Isn't this you?

Edit: Jebus. Based on your comment history, you have no business calling anyone else a bigot.

I did not chose this. I voted for Kamala, and Biden, and Clinton, and Obama. I don't have control over the choices other people make.

You are still accountable for things that you don't have control over. Welcome to democracy when it's not working well

Guilt by association is what morons do. Interesting how you are so keen on using the habits of morons to shit on others...

You are EXACTLY what is wrong with humanity. Including "Americans".

"Give a man someone to look down on and he will let you pick his pocket."

That's you. You are the dumbass being pickpocketed by the rich because you look down on Americans as a whole, instead of seeing allies being taken advantage of. You are a fucking pathetic failure at learning from history, and so is any dumbass that agrees with you.

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!!!!

Yeah I'm so glad I've been boycotting American produce. It wasn't just because Trump was threatening us. With all his deregulating, I was waiting for something like this to happen.

All the produce drowning in glyphosate is reason enough.
