🦠Cyclosporiasis! Important to know how to prevent this parasite until the source is pinpointed.
-farmers markets are a great place for your produce so you can talk to your farmers about where their water source is from (reminder Cyclosporiasis comes from human f***s and is transmitted with direct contact or through contaminated waste water)
1️⃣immediately wash your produce when you come home, my tips are in the reel 🙌🏻
2️⃣the only way to really kill off this parasite is with heat. So if you are very worried, have a compromised immune system or are elderly maybe avoid fresh produce for the time being and stick with cooked fruits and veggies
3️⃣always wash your hands after touching any produce and after returning back to your home
Some researchers have Esther audience where they have heard of specific instances and these are the foods that have come up in their very simple surveys:
🥬Lettuce (think wraps, burgers, sandwiches)
🍅Salsas and tomatoes on wraps, burgers, etc)
🌱 herbs like cilantro in sauces
Stay safe and we’ll all be ok!
