Scared of the diarrhea bug that’s going around
I just need to rant. Ive been seeing TikTok videos about this parasite that’s spreading through water and produce that causes really bad explosive diarrhea, about a week long? and there was a map showing where it’s affecting people like which states and mine ofc was shown to be one of the ones where the illness is showing up… tbh I think I mightve had it like last week bc for around 4-5 days my bowel movements were really weird and I had to keep popping pepto and such and even then it barely helped. even so, I am pretty scared especially bc I just ate a green pepper and had some cucumber last night and I’m wondering if I washed it well enough? even if I did I heard that even washing infected produce doesn’t get rid of the sickness on it… so I’m just kinda stressed. atleast nausea and vomiting aren’t the main symptoms and are more rare, especially vomiting.. but I still am worried
