In this video I break down exactly how human waste is ending up on your food, why washing and freezing do not protect you, why the official case count is almost certainly wrong, and what you need to do right now to keep your family safe. I also explain why the trending social media recommendation of ivermectin and other deworming drugs does not work against this specific parasite, and what the actual evidence-based treatment is.

No animal carries it. When it appears on food, human waste was involved somewhere in the supply chain. The CDC reports roughly 1600 confirmed cases nationally. Michigan alone has reported over 3300. The CDC estimates 10 to 30 actual cases exist for every one confirmed case. Washing does not remove Cyclospora reliably. Chlorine rinse on pre-washed bags does not kill it. Freezing does not kill it. The only reliable protection is sustained heat above 158 degrees Fahrenheit or 70 degrees Celsius. Standard stool tests do not detect Cyclospora. You must ask your doctor specifically for the modified acid fast stain test. Say the word Cyclospora by name. Ivermectin mebendazole and fenbendazole are dewormers designed for helminths which are worm type parasites. Cyclospora is a protozoan which is a completely different biological category. The actual first line treatment is trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole sold as Bactrim or Septra. THREE RULES RIGHT NOW Rule one — Avoid uncooked leafy greens fresh herbs cilantro basil and berries for two to three weeks Rule two — Cook all vegetables and herbs to 158 degrees Fahrenheit or above. Roast sauté boil. Heat is your shield. Rule three — If diarrhea lasts more than two days tell your doctor Cyclospora and ask for the specific test by name SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH THREE PEOPLE Person one — Someone who buys pre-washed bagged salad every week Person two — Someone immunocompromised or on cancer treatment or elderly Person three — A parent or grandparent who trusts grocery store produce RESOURCES CDC Cyclospora Information FDA Foodborne Illness Investigations Mayo Clinic Cyclospora Overview I am Dr Daniel Park focused on public health and preventive medicine.
