In a previous blog post, the GetHairMD™ team discussed the medical and first-hand accounts of post-coronavirus-induced Telogen Effluvium. Telogen Effluvium is a type of reversible hair loss caused by a “shock to the system”—high fever, severe infections, severe chronic illness, heavy inflammation, severe psychological stress, and major surgery or illnesses, to name a few.
With its growing emergence as a “long-haul” COVID-19 symptom, the medical community almost immediately began conducting studies around coronavirus-related hair loss in order to better understand, track, and display its prevalent nature.
Starting only a few months into the pandemic, many medical studies have been published that link COVID-19 infections to incidents of:
- Patterned Hair Loss/Androgenetic Alopecia (hair loss related to genetic causes)
- Diffuse Alopecia (generalized hair loss across the scalp)
- Alopecia Areata (patchy hair loss across the scalp)
- Telogen Effluvium (stress-induced hair loss)
With the individuals being studied ranging from children to seniors, the studies available today help us understand COVID-19-induced hair loss in all sorts of recovery situations. As a continuation of our previous blog post, read on to take a deeper dive into medical studies that work to directly correlate the coronavirus to different types of hair loss.
Patterned Hair Loss (PHL) and Diffuse Alopecia in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
Focusing first on Pattern Hair Loss/Androgenetic Alopecia, clinical studies in Spain showed higher rates and severity of genetic-related hair loss in hospitalized COVID-19 patients compared to age-matched, non-infected people.
The first preliminary study out of Spain was conducted by researchers who gathered information on 41 males (average age 58 years) who were admitted to hospitals in Spain with a diagnosis of COVID-19. According to their findings, 71% were diagnosed with significant hair loss related to genetic causes, of which 39% reported a severe case.
A follow-up study also out of Spain expands on the above initial findings. The study revealed that, out of 175 confirmed COVID-19 patients, 79% of men and 42% of women had significant genetic-related hair loss post infection. Also, those in more severe stages of hair loss often had worse clinical outcomes (use of ventilator, death, etc.).
As for post-COVID-19 Diffuse Alopecia, a study out of Wuhan, China uncovered some polarizing statistics about how common generalized hair loss across the scalp is among hospitalized COVID patients.
Comparing symptoms of 538 COVID-19 survivors to 184 non-infected individuals, the study uncovered that 3-4 months after being discharged from the hospital, generalized hair loss across the scalp was among the most frequent complaints among the coronavirus patients. Additionally, a majority of the patients’ complaints came from women, with almost half of the female participants experiencing generalized hair loss across the scalp post infection.
In total, in the case of all 538 COVID-19 survivors, 27% of the cases experienced generalized hair loss across the scalp during their hospitalization, and 73% first recognized it after being discharged.
COVID-19 and Telogen Effluvium in Adults
As discussed in our previous blog post, COVID-19 has had a massive impact on the public, reaching far beyond the physical symptoms of the virus itself. For those infected with COVID-19, the prevalence of Telogen Effluvium, hair loss induced by significant physical or psychological stress to the body, also grew.
To support COVID-19-survivor and medical-professional stories, recent studies work to show that COVID-19 directly relates to incidents of stress-induced hair loss. As cited in a systematic review that grouped the data of 19 studies from 10 different countries, stress-induced hair loss on average appeared 67 days post-recovery, with the most common symptoms including decreased hair density/volume, empty hair follicles, and short regrowing hair.
Similar to cases of stress-induced hair loss that are unrelated to COVID-19, 67.5% of those who were diagnosed with post-coronavirus stress-induced hair loss were female. Also, the presence of comorbidities has been shown to increase the risk of developing post-COVID-19 stress-induced hair loss. Finally, multiple studies demonstrated that the more severe the COVID-19 case, the more common the recovery process would be plagued by stress-induced hair loss.
From increased psychological stress and raised hormone levels to heightened inflammation and medications used for treatment, the medical community is still working to nail down exactly what causes post-COVID stress-induced hair loss. Regardless, there is a clear medical basis that stress-induced hair loss is a common result of the coronavirus, adding to increased uncertainty and instability as one recovers from the virus.
COVID-19 and Pediatric-Related Hair Loss
Along with adults experiencing hair loss post-COVID-19, there is data showing that children are also seeing increased/excessive hair shedding and thinning post-COVID-19. In a medical letter published in January 2021, the Alopecia experienced in children post-virus was connected to multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). MIS-C is associated with fever, heightened inflammation throughout the body, and skin issues. The findings of two male pediatric patients were presented in the letter.
The first patient, a 10-year-old boy, was referred to a dermatologist for hair loss all across his scalp. The patient ended up being diagnosed with stress-induced hair loss, as further lab work excluded other causes of hair loss. Two months prior to his visit to the dermatologist, he was admitted to the hospital with a high fever and severe cough. The boy tested positive for the virus and was hospitalized. After being hospitalized, he ended up developing COVID-19-associated MIS-C.
The second patient, a 13-year-old boy, was also referred to a dermatology clinic after developing an Alopecic patch. This patient had no previous history of patchy hair loss or other autoimmune diseases that might cause hair loss. The boy’s family history for patchy hair loss across the scalp was also negative. A month prior, he was diagnosed with COVID-19-associated MIS-C.
Similar to cases of hair loss in adults, incidents of hair loss in children post-COVID aren’t completely understood, but indeed prevalent. While the cases of the two patients outlined above were attributed to inflammatory issues, a growing number of studies and medical literature make it clear that children are not immune to the various causes of hair loss post-infection.
How the GetHairMD™ Clinical Hair Growth Laser is Beneficial for COVID-19 Related Hair Loss
Knowing that hair loss is a confirmed medical concern post-COVID that goes beyond the personal anecdotes, what can one do in order to combat genetic-related hair loss, generalized hair loss across the scalp, patchy hair loss, or stress-induced hair loss that occurs after having the virus?
GetHairMD™’s Clinical Hair Growth Laser treatments have been a great fit for individuals struggling with hair loss post-infection—no matter if the hair loss is sudden, or more gradual. Our modern, non-surgical hair loss solution uses “cool” laser energy to stimulate cell growth and supercharge hair follicles, helping to stop excessive hair shedding and thinning, improve hair volume, appearance, and texture, and regrow lost hair. The treatment is FDA-cleared for both men and women, and reinvigorates your natural hair growth process.
“Three months after having COVID-19 in August, my hair started falling out in clumps—shedding when I took showers, shedding when I brushed my hair, all of that—and it did not stop…I am very fortunate to have found GetHairMD™ because it’s FDA-cleared for men and women and fit exactly what I needed at that time.”
— Skye, Current GetHairMD™ Client
GetHairMD™’s Clinical Hair Growth Laser treatments also pair nicely with the newly-introduced GetHairMD™ Hair Care Trio—a Replenish Shampoo, Restorative Conditioning Treatment, and Rapid Growth Serum. While the laser does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to improving your hair, the new GetHairMD™ products are designed to create a healthy environment for your scalp. The hair care products contain medical-grade formulations that are not available over the counter. Only physicians or other medically-supervised professionals are cleared to administer the products.

The study suggests that the craziest dog people might go into withdrawal when they are away from their dog and lean on technology for quick fixes. Many dog people admit they have watched their dog on a webcam (17%) or Skyped or FaceTimed with them while they were away (14%). “This is especially true of Millennials, who are more likely than non-Millennials (24% vs. 13%) to watch their dog on a webcam. In fact, Millennials are nearly three times as likely as their older counterparts (23% vs. 8%) to Skype or FaceTime their dog.”
“If our social media team was run by marketers, you’d see a lot more photos of just the box and our products from that month,” said Bark’s marketing director Rachel Mansfield. “Our team of comedians finds ways to creatively produce silly videos that highlight our products in our own way. We’re coming up with the stories around our monthly themes six months in advance, and the people on our social teams are in the room brainstorming with the marketing team. That thread of humor is throughout everything.”

Worth every single penny. I literally can not say enough amazing things about BarkBox. First of all, and most importantly, my 3 dogs LOVE IT! Secondly, all of the toys are FUN, creative, and durable. You can buy seconds of ones your pup loves and seconds on treats as well. Thirdly! They have this really cool program where if your pup destroys something, you can post the aftermath on any social media, tag #destroyersclub and barkbox will give you credit on barkshop for some new toys!
Claire likes: I was pleasantly surprised at Dapper Dog's great customer service — when I said I had a young puppy, someone emailed me within a day confirming that I did indeed have a puppy, so they could make sure to include age-appropriate toys. I appreciated the thoughtfulness and that Dapper Dog followed through by adding a puppy teething bone to Ruggie's box, which she gnaws on with the passion of a thousand suns.
The box is extra fun because it has a new surprise theme to keep things fresh each month. If they can’t find something your dog will love that fits the theme, they make it themselves! One of the coolest things is that they have an online store – called BarkShop – where you can order more of what your dog loved in their box. (their product descriptions are hilarious by the way and will keep you entertained for hours).
Every month the box comes and I am literally clobbered by my pups in anticipation. I’m pretty sure the themes are more exciting for me but helps me stay engaged and as excited as they are. It’s a 5 star experience for them but I only gave four stars Because the toys are often too big for little Milo and he will only play with them for a little bit but since he can’t escape with them fast enough cuz of their size the bigger dogs take them. The treats are always a big hit but I won’t give them the bully stick or hard treat because it’s often so hard I can’t even break it and I’m afraid one of them might choke on it so I stay on the cautious side and throw that one away. The last 3 or 4 months I’ve had to do this. Otherwise I love this monthly fun time with my little ones!!
I love barkbox ! We switch [sic] from petbox to here because we heard they offered much more variety ! Which they definitely did ! Amazing way of trying new products out for your pup big or small . It’s like Christmas every month for my Lhasa apso when the mailman delivers his barkbox ! Again worth it for the money! — Maddie R., Influenster.com, 6/17/2015

Unfortunately I had to cancel my bark box subscription. I have huge dogs, aggressive chewers. Each month they send a toy, a stuffed toy. Which lasts all of 15 minutes with my dogs… I contacted Bark box month after month requesting non stuffed toys. Each month they stated OK we will fix this, each month a stuffed toy. — Kathleen K., k9ofmine.com, 2/23/2015
I had a terrible experience with barkbox. My dog is not a strong chewer at all (he's a shih tzu) but somehow every time we got a box the toys were super cheap and would fall apart immediately. I was actually thinking of quitting the subscription but I liked the surprises each month so I thought I'd stick it out a few months. He had never destroyed any toys until we started getting barkbox toys, so after a couple deliveries - I knew they were cheaper than average. They'd basically fall apart in 2 min of him playing with them which sucked.On our last barkbox, one toy actually fell apart immediately when he was chewing on the new toy for the first time (literally within a minute of me giving it to him) he accidentally swallowed the squeaker and ended up having a $5000+ surgery as a result to get it out. He had to be completely cut open. Between the emotional pain of my dog having surgery, being in the ICU, having a pain med patch stapled to his back and weeks of recovery, I never trusted this company again. I wish I had never tried them.Suffice to say, not a fan and I tell anyone considering trying them this story. I'd rather pick my own treats and toys and be able to know what i'm getting quality wise. Be careful if you subscribe, big breeds might be ok but I'm sure small breeds regularly have this happen to them with this company.
At their core, Surprise My Pet are dog lovers. Their goal is to provide you with a good quality box of carefully handpicked products every time. With their monthly box, you and your furry friend can enjoy an amazing experience. Each box includes tasty treats, fun toys, bones, and all-natural treats. They find the funnest and healthiest items that will have your dog's tale wagging all night long.
Super fast shipping! I got my box two days after my first subscription. I use BarkBox SuperChewer because my puppy will destroy all plush toys. She’s been loving it so far, it’s super durable. She also loved all of the treats they’ve delivered. I love how everything is natural and high quality, it gives me a piece of mind. My pup didn’t like some of the toys and customer service told me they can replace it. So far so good!
We did recently switch warehouses in July and in doing so it caused a hiccup in our system with some boxes. So some of our boxes were a little bit delayed. We are more than happy to make sure that you get that July box and check into the tracking more for you and turn this around. Then going forward I want to ensure you and your pack that you shouldn't have any further trouble with boxes. That was just due to our warehouse move for the month of July. Then your box for this month should be there in no time at all. Our official shipping date monthly is on the 15th! We would love to double check this for you and give you more specifics. Please just email us directly at Lindz@barkbox.com and we can look into this for you and get your July box all taken care of.
I first signed up for back box 4 months ago when they were running a special. I signed up for the 6-month bark box and did not read the VERY small, fine print that they had on the sign up which I was under the impression I would get a bark box every 6 months, and pay for them every six months when they ship it. Unfortunately, the small print stated that it was 1 box every month for 6 months and that the price would increase after the first month.
Thanks so much for your review and for making us aware. We are so very sorry to hear that the treats didn't work out. Our main priority is for your pup to be happy and healthy. So we are so sorry that wasn't the case with those. We are more than happy to look more into this for you and we hope to get an update on how your pup is doing! We would also love more info on these treats if you still have them! Please email us directly at Lindz@barkbox.com so we can make sure your pup is okay and to get more info on the treats!
I have just cancelled my Treat a Dog box and was excited to see reviews of the various other options. I have a pit bull and he has easily destroyed every toy in the boxes so far. I also love that there is now a Canadian option because some of the other boxes were only in the US. My favorite part of the surprise is how excited Diesel is when we get the mail. Thats mine mom! Mine! Open it open it open it!
I ordered my first box a month ago. They refunded me and promised 4 free boxes....however....I have been told they moved their warehouse and things didn't go well. Then they said my box was built and ready to go...but it hasn't. The cute stuff they say only makes me angrier. I am not a child and it is unacceptable to not provide results. I am out to find another service for my dog...cause this one stinks

I ordered BarkBox because l saw the commercial and thought it'd be great for my dog. When l placed my first order, l was told l would receive the package between July 18-July 22. The package didn't come so l contacted them Sunday night. I was then told by email because when you call the number, the representatives are always away, that they were sorry and l would receive the package no later than Tuesday, July 24.
“Being a Bull Mastiff, Cooper was our house’s heavy weight champion. He needed a bit extra in everything. I wasn’t sure whether the treats in Barkbox would suit him and I thought the goodies might be tiny. The reviews I looked at were good. I thought of it as a onetime choice and ordered a box but now I’m a regular subscriber. As I opened the box, I could feel the amount of care the team from barkbox had taken to identify and customize these goody treats.”
Thank you for your review Jack and we're so happy to have you in the pack! :) I did want to clarify that you can cancel anytime. The online cancelation feature works on cancelation for renewal so pupscribers who don't want to be auto renewed can take care of that. However you can cancel anytime by emailing our support team at Happy@barkbox.com If you need any assistance you can always email me personally at Lindz@barkbox.com
Claire dislikes: So Ruggie loves the Hippo, Trek Treats and the Banana Safari Snacks but tbh, I didn't even give her the lion toy because even though she would love it, toys with that kind of long hairy stuff make her gag. And maybe I'm being paranoid (new dog mom over here!), but that butcher's bone seemed kinda gross. I mean, it had a "no carpet" warning on it because it would leave stains, and if I can't have something on a carpet, why would I want the bone gunk all over her fur, which then would get all over her bed? Idk, maybe I'll give it to her as a puppy kindergarten graduation present and have her eat it in the kitchen.
Pup-people with questions about BarkBox can now choose to privately and playfully interact with a dog (in lieu of a human) via direct messages on Twitter, and get information via a series of awesomely punny puppy questions that BarkBox built using Reply.ai. BarkBox’s chatbot (or dog bot) is as quirky as you’d imagine. It answers frequently asked questions and helps customers find the right BarkBox for their dogs by guiding them through some tail-waggingly fun questions. If the dog bot can’t fetch an answer, Zendesk Message detects this and hands the question off to a trained BarkBox support agent to resolve.

A lot of great music exists out there. But NBN can’t devote a slot to every CD that hits shelves, especially for bands you may have never heard of. So, that’s where we come in. Our love of Swedish chanteuses leads us to give a quick take on From the Valley to the Stars, the latest album from Scandinavian crooner El Perro Del Mar.
El Perro Del Mar’s 2006 self-titled American debut came amidst a supposed 1960s girl-group revival, spearheaded by the polka-dot-wearing pop threesome the Pipettes. Whether on purpose or not, Sarah Assbring — the Swedish singer/songwriter behind El Perro Del Mar — fit into the Shangri-Las frenzy by filling El Perro Del Mar with full-bodied, reverb-soaked strumming, handclaps and “shoobi-doo-wop” cooing. The genius of the best ’60s Phil Spector tracks came from their mixture of heartbreak and elation, and in that way too Assbring seemed to be making a move at revivalism: El Perro Del Mar’s debut was lush, sparkling and sad — way sad.
On the follow-up, From the Valley to the Stars, it’s clear that the big difference between El Perro Del Mar and any “girl pop” is that Assbring barely makes pop at all — or if she does, it’s almost a caricature, music that exaggerates the genre’s formal features so that it becomes something else entirely. Assbring seems obsessed with pop’s most defining characteristic — repetition — and so a good number of her songs don’t seem assembled in verses and choruses but rather in interlocking mantras. “I’m going forth to buy me some candy,” she crooned on the debut’s opener. It’s a statement that at first sounds like exposition but then becomes, with repetition, a desperate affirmation for someone whose life has become so empty that there’s nothing to do but visit the sweets aisle at 11 p.m. on a Saturday.
From the Valley to the Stars almost completely does away with the debut’s ’60s trappings and pop disguises, leaving only Assbring’s austere, circular songwriting. The majority of the album’s 16 tracks are comprised solely of one or two lyrical lines, repeated slowly over pastel organ tones. It’s a glowing, sleepy album that seems to reduce the surrounding world to clear, discrete notes and colors. If that sounds boring, well, sometimes it is. But it’s often lush and hummable, accented with endearing flourishes — a sassy flute melody on “Glory to the World,” radiant harmonies on “Jubilee” — that give the songs weight. “Somebody’s Baby” and “Into the Sunshine” revisit Assbring’s old penchant for Motown rhythms and call-response backup singing, but even they feel slight and hazy.
Assbring has made an album that’s best enjoyed in a certain, blissfully empty state of mind. That’s probably the point, since the album’s lyrics mostly explore the idea of heaven as a place in your head. In 2006, she sounded like a weepy, jilted lover. In the time since, her voice has lost the pout and gained an airiness that suits the music around it. On the Zen-perfect standout “Inner Island,” she chants over a warbling keyboard and cricket chirping, “Don’t cast away your inner island,” each time emphasizing a different word in a different way. Then she gets to an explanation: “It’s where you went as a child / It’s where you long to go still.” The value of From the Valley to the Stars isn’t that it tells you to retreat inward. It’s that Assbring seems to have figured out the sound of her own peace, and luckily, it sounds a lot like everyone else’s.

Washington, D.C., USA: Forty-one more people have been sickened from McDonald’s salads contaminated with a parasite a week after the last update by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), raising the total number of illnesses to more than 400.
Laboratory analysis confirmed 436 cases of the parasite infection called Cyclospora reported in people who consumed salads at McDonald’s in 15 states, as of Thursday. This is 41 more cases than last week’s update in the same number of states.
The cases mostly stem from restaurant locations in the Midwest with 219 cases in Illinois alone. The national Centers for Disease Control noted that Connecticut, Tennessee, and Virginia patients purchased salads while traveling in Illinois. The Florida patient purchased a salad in Kentucky.
The parasite can cause symptoms that include diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, fatigue and flu-like symptoms. If untreated, infected individuals may need more than a month to recover.
At least 20 people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported, according to the CDC.
“Epidemiologic evidence indicates that salads purchased from McDonald’s restaurants are one likely source of these infections,” the CDC said. “The investigation is ongoing, and FDA is working to determine the sources of the ingredients that were in common to the salads served at McDonald’s.”
Illnesses are usually reported within six weeks, so illnesses that started after June 21 may not be reported yet, the CDC said.
“At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that this cluster of illnesses is related to the Cyclospora outbreak linked to Del Monte fresh produce vegetable trays,” the CDC’s update last week said.
The Food and Drug Administration investigation into the outbreak continues.
“McDonald’s is committed to the highest standards of food safety and quality control, a company statement on the salads said when more than 100 cases were reported in Illinois and Iowa last month. “We are closely monitoring this situation and cooperating with state and federal public health authorities as they further investigate.”
In July, McDonald’s also removed existing lettuce blend from identified restaurants and distribution centers – which includes approximately 3,000 of its U.S. restaurants primarily located in the Midwest.
Last month, the FDA completed analysis of an unused package of romaine lettuce and carrot mix distributed to McDonald’s by the Fresh Express processor in Streamwood, Ill., which confirmed the presence of the microscopic parasite Cyclospora in that mix.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued an alert on July 30 over concern certain beef, pork and poultry salad and wrap products that may also be contaminated with Cyclospora. The alert applied to certain salad and wrap products sold at Kroger, Trader Joe’s and Walgreens locations nationwide and distributed by Caito Foods and Gordon Food Service.
EARLIER : Multistate Outbreak of Cyclosporiasis Linked to McDonald’s Salads – CDC, FDA, USDA
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported an outbreak of cyclosporiasis among people who ate salads sold at McDonald’s fast-food chain restaurants. 61 people have been reported sick in seven Midwestern states.
CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and state and local public health partners are investigating an increase in reported cases of Cyclospora infection (cyclosporiasis) in several states.
What is the Problem and What is Being Done About It?
On July 12, 2018, the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Illinois Department of Public Health reported an increase in cases of cyclosporiasis among people who ate salads sold at McDonald’s fast-food chain restaurants. CDC also has received reports of sick people in Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin who ate salads sold at McDonald’s locations in those states.
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a single-celled parasite that causes an intestinal infection called cyclosporiasis.
McDonald’s is cooperating with the investigation and has voluntarily stopped selling salads in more than 3,000 locations in the following 14 states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Because of the proactive actions McDonald’s took to remove the affected salads from the locations in these states, there likely is not ongoing risk to consumers who eat at those
Important advice for consumers – CDC
If you have eaten a salad from a McDonald’s restaurant in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, or Wisconsin since mid-May (on or after 5/14/2018) and you developed diarrhea, see a healthcare provider to be tested for Cyclospora infection and to be treated if you are sick.
Do not eat leftover salads from McDonald’s restaurants that were purchased in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, or Wisconsin. Throw them away.
This investigation is ongoing. CDC will provide updates when more information is available.
At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that this cluster of illnesses is related to the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak linked to Del Monte fresh produce vegetable trays.
What Do Restaurants and Retailers Need To Do? – FDA
The FDA is working with McDonald’s to identify the common ingredients in the salads identified by those who became sick and to trace back those ingredients through the supply chain.
- Retailers, restaurants, and other food service operators should always practice safe food handling and preparation measures. It is recommended that they wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot, soapy water before and after handling food. Wash and sanitize display cases and refrigerators where potentially contaminated products were stored.
- Wash and sanitize cutting boards, surfaces, and utensils used to prepare, serve, or store potentially contaminated products.
- Wash hands with hot water and soap following the cleaning and sanitation process.
- Regular frequent cleaning and sanitizing of food contact surfaces and utensils used in food preparation may help to minimize the likelihood of cross-contamination.
What is Cyclospora?
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a microscopic parasite of humans. This parasite, when it contaminates food or water and is then ingested, can cause an intestinal illness called cyclosporiasis.
The Cyclospora parasite needs time (days to weeks) after being passed in a bowel movement to become infectious for another person. Therefore, it is unlikely that cyclosporiasis is passed directly from one person to another.
What are the Symptoms of Cyclosporiasis?
People can become infected with Cyclospora by consuming food or water contaminated with the parasite.
Most people infected with Cyclospora develop diarrhea, with frequent, sometimes explosive, bowel movements. Other common symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, fever, and other flu-like symptoms may be noted. Some people who are infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not treated, the illness may last from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse).
Who is at Risk?
Anyone who consumed salads from McDonald’s in IA, IL, MN, MO, NE, SD, and WI could have been exposed to the pathogen. People can become infected with Cyclospora by consuming food or water contaminated with the parasite.
Who should be Contacted?
Contact your healthcare provider if you have diarrhea that lasts for more than three days. The FDA encourages consumers with questions about food safety to Submit An Inquiry, or to visit www.fda.gov/fcic for additional information.

After using the Xbox One X( Scorpio edition )since it's release date, here are my opinions on it.
You probably own a regular Xbox one and you been wanting to upgrade to the Xbox One X, but is it worth spending another $500 ?
If you plan to own a lot of 4k movies then the Xbox one X is worth every penny + more.
X1X is a 4k movie player + an Xbox one S with a much faster hard drive that plays 4k games at various qualities.
If you have a 360 your best bet is the Xbox One S( 4k movie player and an Xbox One combined) for $200-250.
If you have a regular xbox one and you only plan to use the Xbox One X just for gaming, it's definitely not worth it.
Xbox one X will offer "slightly" better gaming resolution, and slightly better picture quality in a 4K HDR screen compared to the one, only small differences that the eye can see(Assuming that you have 20/20 vision).
"slight" improvements is not worth $500.
You will only notice a difference if you have a 55" 4k HDR TV or bigger, or if you sit 6 feet or less from your tv screen, even then you're only getting "slight" improvements that the eye can see. To see those differences you have to look for them very carefully, side by side comparison.
Only games that are built from the ground up in native 4k like Forza 7 will see a big difference in "eye test" quality. (WoT is "enhanced" 4k)
In a year or two when most best casino games are built from the ground up in 4k and the X is at $350-$399 then yes it will be worth it.
your best bet is to buy a 250GB SSD for your original Xbox One, Getting an SSD is going to be the best bang for your buck.
Improve every game that you own by being it able to load it much faster, save time on every loading screen.
Think of it as your mid gen refresh, and you can keep your SSD forever, use it for any pc or upcoming gen consoles.
I recommend the crucial MX300 275GB SSD SATA Drive $92.99 on Amazon.(230GB after you install it to the one) or 525 GB for $149 or a
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD $84.99 amazon on sale now, save $65(top 5 fastest sata SSD 1-3% faster than the MX300 listed above).
keep the 1-3 games that you are currently playing on the SSD to make them load faster. Once you are done with a game and feel that you won't be playing it regularly then transfer it back to your internal hard drive. Any game that you want to "speed" up must be installed on the SSD.
you will also need a cable adapter to be able to use the MX300 externally on your Xbox one.

Mary McCormack apparently didn't appreciate what she saw "in plain sight." Married to Smash director Michael Morris for ten years, the actress, 45, allegedly threw Morris out of their Los Angeles home late Sunday — shortly before photos emerged of Morris making out with his former series star Katharine McPhee in a parking lot, Page Six reports.
The In Plain Sight star shares three young kids with Morris, and reportedly ejected him from their house after Morris informed her that the incriminating photos were set to go online. Page Six also claims that Morris attempted to buy the makeout snapshots himself to avoid the scandal.
McPhee herself is also taken: The 29-year-old American Idol runner-up wed producer Nick Cokas, 47, back in 2008. The paper claims that she and Cokas have been amicably separated.
Reps for all parties involved did not return requests for comment. NBC's Smash was canceled last spring after two lowly rated seasons. McCormack's latest series, NBC's Welcome to the Family, was canceled earlier this month after just three weeks on the air.

More than 20 years after his mother Jean Howard passed away, “Happy Days” star Ron Howard reflects on his parents’ last trip to New York City before Jean’s death.
While speaking to Kate and Oliver Hudson on their Sibling Revelry podcast, Ron Howard spoke about his parents and their last New York City trip before his mom’s passing in 2000. “One of the things that [my mom] wanted to do was go back to New York and see New York again. So Dad took her back.”
However, when his parents went to visit the apartment they previously lived in, Ron Howard said they were met with a surprise. “They pulled up – and this is so much like a movie or a Dickens novel – [they see] literally a wrecking ball swinging through the air. Taking the building out!”
The classic TV actor turned filmmaker also said that while he thought it was a not-so-great situation to experience, his late mom felt differently. “Here’s my mom’s vibe. I said, ‘Mom, were you disappointed by that?’ And she said, ‘Oh, no, we felt really lucky… lucky that we got to be the last ones to see it.”
Ron Howard’s mother passed away on September 2, 2000, from a heart and respiratory illness. She was 73-years-old at the time.
Ron Howard’s Mother Reportedly Gave Up Her Acting Career to Raise Him and His Brother
According to Ron Howard, his mother actually gave up her acting career to raise him and his brother, Clint. While speaking to Tulsa World in 2020, Howard stated, “Once we were raised, she decided to dip her toe back in. My dad said she was the best actor at OU, that she was that talented.”
While discussing the roles that his mom went up for, Ron Howard stated “And then she comes back, and she becomes the new ‘little old lady’ in the sitcom world. Working with a little bit of everybody and becoming very popular. And my dad just said, ‘I told you, boys.’”
Ron Howard also spoke about giving his mom the role of Blanch Lovell, the mom of Tom Hanks’ character Jim Lovell in “Apollo 13” at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. “Didn’t want to do [the audition] at the office. So I said I’d come by the house and we’d read through the scene. And we went through it a couple of times and she made me cry just because I was proud of her as a son and also because I knew that she could do it, and this was an opportunity. And it was just one or two takes on the day of shooting, but it was a great moment.”

The Weeklys | August 7th
Travis Scott – STARGAZING
It was difficult to choose a song from Travis’ new album ASTROWORLD. It’s an incredibly strong album, maybe the rapper’s best. But opener ‘STARGAZING’ sets the scene and so gets the nod. Alongside A$AP Rocky, Travis has been blazing a trail that can best be described as psychedelic trap, and ‘STARGAZING’ is his opus.
‘STARGAZING’ starts in pretty standard fashion for the Houston native. A clean beat. Travis rapping about the usual: drugs. Nothing special. But when the song begins to fade out and you think it’s over. BANG! Part II of the track kicks in hard. The beat switches, it’s unexpected, and it’s packed with a hostile bass line beneath creepy twinkling. It’s a bold, brave way to open his third album and Travis pulls it off to perfection.
Matt Corby – No Ordinary Life
Matt’s back and we’re all the better for it. The new single sees a departure of sorts for the Aussie crooner. Generally, Matt’s soothing vocals are the main attraction, backed by soulful percussion and finger-picked guitar. However, the characteristic crooning isn’t as immediate on ‘No Ordinary Life’. Also, it’s driven by a beautiful piano arpeggio. The unique features of the song are no detriment to its quality. This is Matt Corby, people. The man only deals in quality.
Moses Sumney – Rank & File
Moses’ critically-acclaimed debut album, Aromanticism, took him to new heights following its 2017 release. Now, the avant-garde RnB artist is looking to keep the momentum flowing with his forthcoming EP, Black in Deep Red, 2014, due this Friday. ‘Rank & File’ is the lead single from the three-track project, with the track offering more dense layering than Moses usually delivers. It’s obvious the track – along with the EP – has a special inspiration. It’s motivated by the LA musician’s experience at a protest relating to a murder. Rank & File is uplifting, surging with brilliant effect.
Robyn – Missing U
The Swedish pop superstar has been very quiet of late, but ‘Missing U’ is a powerful announcement that Robyn is definitely not done with. The new track immediately picks up where popstar left us: bold, sparkling synths to kick things off. The track is another collab with Joseph Mount, member of seminal synth-rock band Metronomy. His influence provides ‘Missing U’ with vital dance sensibility, and of course, Robyn brings the arena-pop grandeur.
ALASKALASKA – Monster
It seems the impact of our very own Middle Kids is briskly spreading throughout the world. With ‘Monster’, South Londoners ALASKALASKA are near copy-cats of the indie-pop brand that Middle Kids have launched. The song-writing is remarkably similar, as bandleader Lucinda John-Duarte discusses a relationship gone sour. Despite all the similarities it’s still a stand-out. The guitar-driven track has tight instrumentation and is extremely catchy. ALASKALASKA are ones to watch.

The province is working alongside Edmonton Public Schools to introduce Arabic in the 2018-19 school year.
Edmonton Public Schools currently offer an Arabic Language K-12 developed course series, which the province says is the district’s fastest growing program.
In October, 2016, the two bodies agreed to develop a new Arabic language curriculum, find teaching and learning resources.
“Our government recognizes the economic and academic benefits of proficiency in more than one language,” Minister of Education David Eggen said in a press release. “We are thrilled to be moving forward in our commitment to develop the provincial Arabic Language Arts K–12 curriculum by September 2018. We know this new curriculum will make life better for so many students in Alberta.”
The Canadian Arab Friendship Association is thrilled about the province’s decision.
“CAFA truly appreciates the efforts of the Ministry of Education to promote and enhance bilingual education across the province,” Canadian Arab Friendship Association president Yazan Haymour said. “This move forward will help to enrich the linguistic and cultural diversity of students and allow for better achievement on the social, academic and cultural level.”
The province said Edmonton Public Schools is one of the few districts offering Arabic in Alberta.

Local airbrush artist fleeing the competition
CALGARY – Jordon Bourgeault of JBo Airbrush has always tried to stay one step ahead of the competition.
When he started JBo Airbrush 10 years ago, he mainly airbrushed goalie masks, helmets and automotive materials.
But Bourgeault was looking for other canvases to work on. He says it was a friend who gave him an idea: what about painting the sneakers?
âI kind of decided to put myself in the shoes at the request of a friend,â he said.
It was then that Bourgeault had a slightly different idea.
âI thought I would approach things a little differently and look at the shoes more like painting a goalie mask,â he said. “Very high details rather than just changing the colors.”
It turns out that was a brilliant idea. Bourgeault says he has received great feedback on airbrushed sneakers and says there is definitely a market there.
âI think sneakers in and of themselves are a huge genre that people love,â he said. âYou see these sneaker cons and all those sneaker heads and they’re willing to spend a lot of money. So I think especially when they’ve got a really cool paint job on them that they’re pretty happy (with it). own a pair).
Besides being missing, Bourgeault knew he needed to step up his game even more. So he started putting his product on YouTube using stop motion. He explains how it works.
âWhat I do is paint a little, take a picture. Paint a little, take a picture,â he said. “And in the end, it looks like the shoe is painted like magic with my hand running through it. It’s a really cool thing and I think the video itself has some viral potential.”
Bourgeault says it also allows him to bring out another artistic side.
âThe art itself is so creative,â he said. âBut I’m really getting into the video side of things. I’m painting the shoes in a Mortal Combat design, so I thought it would be pretty cool to make the shoes look like they were fighting – everything. like the Mortal Fight the characters themselves. “
Bourgeault takes a long time to work on the shoes. The cost is between $ 500 and $ 2,000 a pair, depending on how much detail it adds.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD can occur when a teenager experiences a shocking, unexpected event that is outside the range of usual human experience. The trauma is usually so extreme that it can overwhelm their coping mechanisms and create intense feelings of fear and helplessness. The traumatic event may be experienced by the individual directly (e.g. physical or sexual abuse, assault, rape, kidnaping, threatened death), by observation (witness of trauma to another person), or by learning about a trauma affecting a close relative or friend. Whether teens develop PTSD depends on a combination of their previous history, the severity of the traumatic event, and the amount of exposure.
- Recurrent, intrusive, and distressing memories of the event
- Recurrent, distressing dreams of the event
- Acting or feeling as if the traumatic event were recurring
- Intense psychological distress when exposed to reminders of the traumatic event and consequent avoidance of those stimuli
- Numbing of general responsiveness (detachment, estrangement from others, decreased interest in significant activities)
- Persistent symptoms of increased arousal (irritability, sleep disturbances, poor concentration, hyper-vigilance, anxiety).

The journey of weight loss and the transition to a healthy lifestyle full time is often difficult. Many people try to solve this problem on their own. This often leads to negative and unhappy outcomes. A person cannot underestimate the importance of their partner in promoting or breaking bad habits. Because breaking bad habits with others has proven to be very important. From a new study if you try this trip with someone else your chances of success will increase greatly. The study, conducted by researchers at University College London, followed a couples intensives in which one partner made lifestyle changes. And examine the possibility of the other party making this new lifestyle change. The three most important focal points are Exercise, weight loss and smoking cessation.
More than 3,500 pairs were intensively analyzed in the study. The results for each function evaluated are consistent. Couples tend to be in good health together if they start at the same time. Smoking is one of the most obvious effects. If both smoke and one person decide to quit smoking 50% of the time the other will be able to quit. If one partner does not smoke and the other smokes only 17% of participants were able to quit smoking.
Finally, when both spouses smoked and one of the couples decided to quit
Only 8% were able to quit. It makes sense because if you’re going to face this with someone closes to you. And they understand exactly what you feel when you go through a difficult life-changing phase. That made it tolerable. These results are important because they emphasize the importance of supporting your partner and the importance of couples breaking bad habits together. It had consequences and it wasn’t even close. So next time you’re ready to quit bad habits. And seeing your partner practice the same bad habits, sit down and talk to them and explain how important it is for us to quit bad habits. Because you will succeed there are enough of them, quite! Success
Very erotic feeling
All living things are sexually or responsive to the opposite sex. Plants, animals, insects and humans are equal here. Only the presence of a person or person or person of the opposite sex nurtures the other gender. The sexual or emotional needs needed to fulfill them. These feelings grew with every minute we spent together. When two opposites are alone and especially when they’ve never had sex. This feeling will grow rapidly. Construction takes place whether they find it interesting or not. When two people of the opposite sex are attracted to each other the intensity of this sensation is doubled. The result is what I would describe as an intense sexual sensation.
Ninety-nine percent of the time People misunderstand violent sex for love. Due to the nature of feelings and how quickly it happens when two people are drawn to each other. So you hear an expression that sounds like someone is madly in love. This intense sexuality is not love. Don’t even love a fake if it exists. Superior sexuality is the animal instinct that drives it to ensure that humans remain on Earth. Call it a scam of nature or whatever name makes you feel comfortable. I call this motivation for forcing the mind of a stable man to take on important responsibilities that he would gladly avoid if things changed.
General trends in dating and other premarital relationships
The present is how people say they failed or fell in love with the person they just met. The truth is it’s impossible to fall in love with the man or woman you just met. Falling in love with someone before you propose and get accepted can’t happen in less than six months. In many cases, true love can only develop after a year of marriage intensives. Because people misunderstand strong sexual feelings for love. So they reported having sex before marriage. Premarital sex regardless of the context in which it is given and given not only wrong in the religious sense but also detrimental to the development of true love and mutual respect. Which is necessary for the development and growth of love between one man and one woman. True love doesn’t mean sex is wrong.

Just look at the mess in my wool room. There's so much going on in there and if I don't have enough of my own 'stuff' going on most of yesterday was spent designing and redesigning a pattern for someone else. Well, thankfully around 3 p.m. it was decided and drawn. Now I can deal with my own stuff.
There's wool on the floor, containers with wool still left from the rug camp with Barb in May (yup, May, 3 months later), patterns draped across the back of chair while I was deciding what to hook at Cape May (less than 3 weeks away).
Notice on the photo below there's even more wool plopped wherever it landed that is being used in the commission I'm still working on. But at least I've started drawing out something for ME to hook at Cape May. You can see the empty linen on the drawing table. I've enlarged the design, cut and serged my linen and now need to draw it out.
I've dubbed this design as "Ali Katz". Get it? Since my teacher in Cape May is Ali Strebel thought it might be a CATcy name.
Have a great afternoon everyone.

In honor of National Reunification Month, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) introduced H.R. 6233, the Family Poverty is Not Child Neglect Act, to prohibit the use of federal funds to rip families apart solely based on poverty.
“The condition of impoverishment should never be used as justification for tearing children from their parent’s arms,” said Congresswoman Moore. “The vast majority of children end up in the child welfare system not because of abuse, but because of symptoms of poverty that officials categorize as neglect. Instead of separating children from their parents, we need to strengthen Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and other essential programs that enable families to maintain basic living standards and stay together.”
“The urgency of keeping families together is more apparent now than ever before,” said Dr. Brandon Logan, co-chair of United Family Advocates. “The bill prevents the use of federal funds to separate families based on poverty. Keeping children with their parents prevents the trauma of separation and saves state and federal governments millions of dollars in unnecessary foster care expenses.”
“Studies show, and child and family advocates agree, that foster care should be used only when less intrusive means fail,” said Diane Redleaf, co-chair of United Family Advocates. “When poverty is the cause for child protection intervention, concrete services to help families are a much better approach than family separation.”
H.R. 6233 was endorsed by United Family Advocates, a bipartisan, interdisciplinary coalition with the goal of reforming child welfare policy.

In the aftermath of disaster, social media helps build a sense of community
— By K.E.D. Coan
Social media can disseminate critical information as well as unite disaster victims during their recovery efforts, suggests a study published in Frontiers in Communication.
After natural disasters communities rely heavily on local governments to provide the necessary resources and information to respond to such disasters, but these approaches are not well equipped to meeting individual needs.
As a complement to traditional methods, social media can provide a more personalized resource as well as fostering a sense of community in response to the crisis.
“A relatively organized social media resource can go a long way to ensuring that people’s needs can be met;” said Douglas Paton, a professor of Psychology at Charles Darwin University and lead author of the study; “This is the first paper to explore whether people’s engagement through Facebook could translate into the development of more enduring, functional relationships.”
Following a wildfire in Tasmania in 2013, the local community used a Facebook page developed by co-author Mel Irons, Tassie Fires – We Can Help, to relay details about disaster relief efforts and resources. The site also provided an opportunity for people to share their individual situations, needs, and reactions—and to connect with other people who might find themselves in similar circumstances.
After the wildfire, the Facebook site users could complete a questionnaire about their thoughts on the Facebook page. Paton and his colleague, Irons, studied their responses to measure the impact of the page, particularly as a community building resource.
The user feedback was largely positive for both the site’s informative value, as well as how it provided new opportunities for people to help each other. Users reported that they “couldn’t help wanting to be a part of it all” and that “the cause became personal and it was great to feel like part of the solution.”
Researchers have suggested that reaching out to others and building a sense of community can accelerate recovery efforts, as well as build an enduring local framework for the future. These findings confirm how social media can play a critical role during and after disasters, and that there is even greater potential when these networks also bring people together.
“Social media will play increasingly pivotal roles in disaster response and recovery;” said Paton, “It becomes more important to ensure that its use extends beyond information (which will remain important) to also include developing a resource for mutual support and encouragement over the longer term.”

In our world today, social media has played a vital role in the society, it is used to connect other people and even searching information on a certain issue. There are different types of social media platforms that are used today, in order to communicate to others through the help of
Internet access. These platforms will help to disseminate information to different issues and events. In times of disaster, social media can be the instrument in helping those who are in need knowing that most of the people have the Internet access in their home and in just one click away they can send their opinions of a certain issue. There are sites that are used to donate something for those in need and through this it can reach to the people in different parts of the world. Though social media can affect people’s lives, it can also help in sending help to others. It has advantages and disadvantages, but we should take our actions properly and use it wisely.
