North Carolina friends — Cyclospora is making the rounds this summer, with cases reported in multiple states, including right here in NC.

**Cyclospora** is a parasite that can spread through contaminated food or water, especially fresh produce. It can cause prolonged watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, and sometimes a low-grade fever.

Symptoms often start about **1 week after exposure**, but they can show up sooner or later. The frustrating part? It can last for **days to weeks** if untreated, and symptoms may improve and then come back.

A few ways to lower your risk:

✅ Wash fruits and vegetables well
✅ Use safe drinking water
✅ Avoid swallowing pool, lake, or splash-pad water
✅ Seek care if diarrhea is persistent, severe, or you’re showing signs of dehydration

If your stomach bug is hanging around longer than expected, don’t just tough it out. Testing and treatment may be needed.

Stay safe, wash the produce, and maybe give that suspicious salad a second rinse. 🥗

🦠 Flu Season Update — What You Need to Know About Subclade K

This flu season we’re seeing a new influenza A strain called subclade K (a subgroup of H3N2) spreading widely and making up the majority of reported cases.

Because subclade K wasn’t circulating when this year’s vaccine was formulated, past infections or your flu shot may not protect as well against infection, which means some people may feel sicker than they did with past flu viruses.

That doesn’t mean the virus itself is necessarily more severe, but the mismatch in immunity can make it easier for the virus to infect people.

💉 Why this matters
Even with drift, flu treatment still helps reduce hospitalizations and severe outcomes, especially for people at higher risk of complications.

Early treatment and supportive care make a real difference if you do get sick.

👩‍⚕️ High-risk groups who should act early:
• People with asthma, COPD, or other lung disease
• Heart disease, diabetes, immunosuppression
• Adults 65+ or very young children

If you start experiencing fever, cough, severe fatigue, chest tightness, or shortness of breath, don’t wait — reach out early. Antiviral treatment works best when started quickly. 📲

This season may feel tougher for some folks than past years, but awareness and early care can keep you out of the hospital. We’re here to help. 💙

🦠 Community Health Update – Heading Into the Weekend and Christmas

Based on CDC wastewater viral monitoring combined with local clinic illness trends, here’s what we’re currently seeing in our area:

🔹 COVID-19: Moderate activity
🔸 Influenza: High activity

As we head into the weekend and Christmas, respiratory illnesses are circulating more widely in the community.

What to know:

• Early in illness, rapid COVID and flu tests may be negative for the first 24–30 hours after symptom onset
• Symptoms such as fever, body aches, sore throat, cough, congestion, or fatigue may still represent flu or COVID even with an early negative test
• Flu antivirals (like Tamiflu) work best when started early

Tips to protect yourself and others:

✔️ Wash hands frequently
✔️ Avoid close contact when sick
✔️ Consider masking in crowded indoor spaces
✔️ Rest, hydrate, and monitor symptoms
✔️ Stay home if you’re feeling ill when possible

Need care?

We offer telehealth visits for acute respiratory symptoms and can evaluate whether treatment (including antivirals) is appropriate.

✅ Telehealth available for ages 13+
📅 Same-day appointments may be available

If you’re feeling unwell or symptoms are worsening, don’t wait , especially if you have underlying asthma or COPD.

Data updated weekly. Community illness levels may change.

Most people don’t realize what truckers really go through.
Days on the road. Nights sleeping in the cab. Meals grabbed wherever you can. Coffee to stay awake… energy drinks to stay awake longer… and 6 hours of sleep if you’re lucky.

It’s not “unhealthy choices.”
It’s the job.
And the job takes a toll.

That’s why we wrote this article — not about weight loss, not about lecturing anybody — but about the real health problems I see in drivers every week:

✔️endless fatigue

✔️high blood pressure

✔️sleep apnea

✔️joint pain

✔️reflux from fast food

✔️trouble focusing on the road

✔️feeling older than you actually are

None of this means you’re doing anything wrong.
But it does mean you deserve better tools, better support, and better health options while you’re out there keeping the country moving.

If you’re a driver (or love one), this article breaks down simple, realistic things you can do on the road to feel better — without pretending you have a full kitchen or a gym in the passenger seat.

Think low testosterone is just an “older guy” problem? Not anymore.

More men in their 20s and 30s are showing the same symptoms guys used to have in their 50s — and most have no idea why.

In our newest article, we break down:
🔥 Why younger men are developing Low T earlier than ever
🔥 The real symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, low libido, irritability, poor recovery — not just ED)
🔥 How lifestyle, stress, weight, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals are wrecking hormones
🔥 What labs to check, what “normal” actually means, and when to get help
🔥 What treatment looks like if you do qualify — and what to do if you don’t

If you’re a young guy who feels older than your age, this article is a must-read.
You’re not crazy, you’re not lazy — something’s going on, and there’s a reason you don’t feel like yourself.
