Toxicologist studies how chemical exposures affect human health. People are rarely exposed to one chemical at a time, but many low-level exposures can have a combined effect on the human body. New methods for testing chemical mixtures are being developed to predict the possible combinations of chemicals.
America is in the midst of an outbreak of cyclosporiasis. More than 2,900 people have been sickened by the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. It's spread through contact with human waste that has sat in a warm environment for a week or two, allowing the parasite to mature and become infectious.
There were two infant botulism outbreaks in a single year. Céline Gounder and Nara Organics had the same organic whole milk moving through the same drying plant into both cans. Rosa DeLauro’s Infant Formula Safety Modernization Act (H.R. 7867) has had bipartisan support since March. Congress should pass the bill and hold the hearing.
The Strait of Hormuz is at the centre of the latest escalation in the war between Iran, the United States and their allies. The ceasefire collapsed just days after millions of Iranians took to the streets to pay homage to late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Turkiye hosted the NATO summit.
USDA reinstates $127 million in Land Access Grants. Indian state passed the Women Farmers’ Empowerment Bill. Nigeria’s food security crisis is worsening faster than previously thought. World Food Security Project warns that resources are at their lowest at the time they are needed most.
There is a Cyclospora outbreak that has sickened thousands of Americans. It's been three weeks and more than 3,000 suspected cases into this thing. Chipotle doesn't believe its ingredients are involved in the outbreak. The traceback failure everyone’s writing about this week didn't come out of nowhere.
Lena Sun asked why we don't know what's causing the Cyclospora outbreak that's sickening thousands of Americans. The CDC made reporting optional in July 2025, when it scaled back FoodNet, its foodborne surveillance network. The numbers don't add up, as of July 9, the CDC counted 843 confirmed cases. Michigan alone has more than 1,500.
Oshea Orchid filed the first class-action lawsuit in 2023 against the operators of the Chiquita Canyon landfill. Orchid and other attorneys worry about the future of environmental justice litigation in Southern California. Downtown LA Law Group is facing several investigations following allegations of illegal solicitation. DTLA has signed up roughly 1,300 of 10,000 people who have filed claims over the landfill.
Momy Seck Ndao and her team are trying to introduce tilapia to rice fields in Senegal to avoid disease and make more money for rice farmers. They are also trying to solve food insecurity, poverty and a debilitating disease, schistosomiasis.
As of July 9, the CDC counted 843 people sickened by Cyclospora since the season opened May 1. Krisandra Allen built a clean, source-linked tracker that pulls the CDC’s own Cyclosporiasis numbers and turns them into something a human being can read.
