I’m only surprised in that it too the climate cult media this long to link the outbreak

Possible Role Of Climate Change In Current Cyclosporiasis Outbreak

It’s been a relatively hot summer in many parts of the United States. The hotter-than-normal weather could have played a role in exacerbating this summer’s clusters of cyclosporiasis, which have now been detected in 31 states. It’s possible that the decades-long trend of rising temperatures globally is contributing to the more frequent presence of diseases more typically found in tropical regions.(snip)

The causal agent in cyclosporiasis is a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora cayetanensis, which can spread through food or water contaminated with human feces. Usually, contamination happens on farms. According to the CDC, cyclosporiasis occurs seasonally in many countries worldwide but is most common in tropical and subtropical regions.

The disease doesn’t spread person-to-person. National Geographic writes that “people get sick around a week after eating contaminated food — most commonly fresh produce, especially raspberries, leafy herbs, and bagged salad mixes — but it can take as little as two days and as long as two weeks to develop symptoms.”

So, really, they’re thinking contaminated with feces. And the el nino is certainly creating a hotter summer

Climate change appears to be altering the timing of recurring natural phenomena, like the emergence of buzzing cicadas in summer. They start making their unique piercing sound about 14 days earlier on average than 20 years ago in places like the Northeastern U.S.

The fuck does that have to do with the outbreak?

Similarly, global warming may also be lengthening the seasonal transmission window of certain bacteria and viruses that cause gastrointestinal illnesses. In this vein, public health experts have long warned that a warming climate could contribute to larger spikes in the spread of cases of diseases such as cyclosporiasis.

It’s July: any seasonal lengthening would have zero to do with July

Up until around a decade ago, periodic cyclosporiasis clusters occurred annually scattered around the country during the summer months. But they weren’t especially large in terms of numbers of cases. The numbers of outbreaks and cases then began to rise, with conspicuous spikes in 2018 and 2019 and now in 2026. Experts attribute the increases to better testing and detection methods but also climate change or long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

Last time I checked it is the summer months. Cultist dipshits.

Scientists have formally hypothesized a role for climate change in creating more optimal environmental conditions needed for diseases such as cyclosporiasis to spread. They observe associations between higher temperatures in non-tropical settings and the prevalence of pathogens such as cyclospora. Indeed, cyclospora depend on prolonged outdoor heat and moisture to mature, which makes it sensitive to the effects of rising temperatures.

It’s summer. Dipshit cultists.
