AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFoodborne Outbreak: A multistate cyclosporiasis surge is hitting West Virginia and neighbors, with CDC reporting 1,645 lab-confirmed cases across 34 states and more than 5,100 additional illnesses under review; officials say cases in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia likely share a common source, while Michigan points to lettuce or salad greens as a leading suspect. Public Health Guidance: Health experts stress that routine washing may not prevent illness once produce is contaminated, and symptoms can be severe and linger for weeks, so people should watch for prolonged watery diarrhea and seek care if they get sick. Local Health Access: WVU Medicine is sending its mobile lung cancer screening unit, LUCAS, to Nicholas, Barbour and Upshur counties in August, with appointments required and options for uninsured patients who meet criteria. Community Health Events: Bonnie’s Bus mobile mammography is also scheduled across multiple West Virginia counties in August, offering 3D screening and education, with free screenings available for eligible uninsured women. Health & Safety Watch: In a separate West Virginia-related health story, officials are investigating whether a Peoples Cartage warehouse fire may have involved asbestos-containing materials, prompting a temporary pause in cleanup.
