@philsmypharmacist: Heads up: there’s a cyclospora outbreak in fresh produce right now. It’s made thousands sick with days of watery diarrhea, and it’s tied to leafy greens and salads. 😷 Plain water barely touches this parasite. That’s why I recommend washing produce with ozonated water. Ozone is FDA recognized for food, and PubMed studies show it kills related parasites like Crypto and Giardia. Then it turns back into oxygen, so nothing is left behind. Real talk: no wash is 100 percent. Cooking is the only sure kill, so heat what you can and follow recalls. For raw food, I recommend an ozone wash over a plain rinse. #cyclospora #parasite #philsmypharmacist #healthnews
The FDA and CDC warn that Cyclospora oocysts are incredibly sticky. They wedge themselves into the microscopic folds of leafy greens, raspberries, or cilantro. Even if the ozonated water can kill the parasite on contact, it might not reach every hidden pocket, meaning washing can never guarantee 100% safety.
Concentration and Time: Industrial systems strictly control the ozone concentration and contact time required to kill parasites. Small consumer-grade machines often don't output a high enough or stable enough concentration to guarantee complete disinfection.

What if you cook the veggies? Will that get rid of the parasites?

Reading comments on your video and others of the people with “methods” to eat fruits and veggies safely, is crazy. Just buy frozen veggies until this passes

Is it just me or do people who grow there own food not have parasites. Genuinely curious. If homegrown is not a problem how come store bought is.
