A self-described local epidemiologist said case counts had genuinely fizzled out in their district, while other commenters questioned CDC credibility and whether the declaration reflected real epidemiological resolution or just the end of the seasonal case pattern.
“I mean from my perspective as a local epidemiologist, cyclospora cases have fizzled out. Haven't seen any in a few weeks in my large metro district when we were previously having numerous cases per week.”

You gotta talk a bit to the sellers. The real farmers will talk your ear off about variants, soil, planting, etc. Their food won't look perfect and may be unwashed or coarsely washed.

Please go buy Taylor farms lettuce again. They’re struggling because we mismanaged a parasite outbreak and no one wants leafy greens anymore.
