Last update: 35 minutes agoFood Safety & Public Health: Michigan’s cyclospora outbreak keeps climbing, with CDC tracking about 13,895 lab-confirmed cases since May 1 and nearly 9,500 tied to the lettuce outbreak; officials note the real number may be higher because not everyone gets specialized testing.

Environmental Health: District Health Department No. 10 confirmed a harmful algal bloom in Hamlin Lake (Mason County), urging residents to avoid contact, don’t drink untreated surface water, and limit fish from affected areas; symptoms can include rashes, eye/nose irritation, GI illness, and breathing trouble. Community Health & Safety: Michigan State Police continue investigating a Missaukee County shooting spree that left six dead (including suspect Chad Hickman) and a 13-year-old girl critically injured after calling 911. Health Access & Fraud Watch: A Detroit Lakes BBB scam report flagged “healthcare/medicaid/medicare” imposters that charge for “preventive” coverage they don’t actually provide.
