Nearly 1,000 people in Michigan have been infected with a parasite called Cyclospora, causing diarrhea. The outbreak started in June and is one of the largest in the state’s history. Similar cases are also reported in nearby Ohio.
Key Facts
Cyclospora is a tiny parasite that causes watery diarrhea and stomach illness.
The illness is usually treated with antibiotics and is not often deadly.
Michigan recorded 992 cases and about 40 hospitalizations as of late July.
Ohio, especially Lucas County, has also reported over 300 cases.
The parasite spreads through feces and often contaminates fruits or vegetables.
Outbreaks are hard to trace because the parasite is difficult to detect and grow in labs.
Cyclospora infections have increased in the U.S. over the last decade, possibly due to climate change and better testing.
Past large outbreaks include one caused by raspberries in 1997 and another linked to basil in 2019.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from countries like Haiti and Syria, limiting court review of these decisions. This move could affect over a million people from various countries who rely on TPS, forcing some to return to dangerous or unstable home countries.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision allowing the government to end TPS for about 350,000 Haitians and several thousand Syrians.
TPS provides temporary legal status and work permits for immigrants whose home countries face problems like war or natural disasters.
Ending TPS means people lose legal protection from deportation and the right to work.
The Trump administration argues TPS was meant to be temporary and that conditions in those countries have improved.
Immigrants losing TPS face returning to countries still experiencing violence, unrest, or environmental disaster.
The decision limits courts’ ability to challenge the government’s termination of TPS.
Critics say this could lead to the largest removal of legal status from immigrants in U.S. history.
The government offered financial support and flights home for those leaving under the program’s end.

The parents of Calvin "C.J." Dickey Jr., a football player who died after a 2024 practice at Bucknell University, spoke after criminal charges were filed against former coach Mark Kulbis. Kulbis faces charges including aggravated hazing and involuntary manslaughter for making Dickey Jr. do extreme workouts despite knowing about his sickle-cell trait condition.
Key Facts
Mark Kulbis, former Bucknell strength and conditioning coach, is charged with felony aggravated hazing and misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and hazing.
Calvin "C.J." Dickey Jr. died after a football practice where he was made to do 100 "up-downs" despite struggling visibly during drills.

NCAA rules require all new athletes to be tested for sickle-cell trait and to have proper precautions during exercise.
The coach only called for help after Dickey Jr. passed out, and the player died two days later in the hospital.
Kulbis left Bucknell about six months after the death, and his lawyer denies responsibility.
The Dickey family formed the C.J. Dickey Foundation to raise awareness about sickle-cell trait and filed a civil lawsuit against Bucknell University.
The family hopes the case will lead to better education and safety in sports programs to prevent similar tragedies.
