  • Public Health Alert: COVID Surge, Heat Warnings, and Food Recalls Prompt Urgent Safety Measures Across United States

    Public Health Alert: COVID Surge, Heat Warnings, and Food Recalls Prompt Urgent Safety Measures Across United States
    2025/07/15
    Across the United States today, public health officials have issued urgent advisories due to a combination of rising infectious disease activity, severe weather, and food safety concerns.

    According to the CDC, COVID-19 cases are rising in 25 states, particularly in the South, Southeast, and along the West Coast. The increase is reflected in higher emergency room visits, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, reaching the highest levels seen since early spring. CDC data suggests COVID-19 now tends to peak twice a year, in summer and winter, likely due to ongoing variants of the virus. Most recently, CDC scientists have highlighted that the virus continues to adapt, and as a result, biannual surges are expected to persist. In light of this, health experts recommend listeners in affected states stay current on COVID-19 guidance, be attentive to local advisories, and consider wearing masks in crowded or high-risk areas.

    The CDC is also alerting the public about an unusual seasonal rise in parvovirus B19, a virus mostly causing mild, flu-like illness but posing increased risks for pregnant women. Chicago health officials report emergency departments are experiencing the highest rates of B19-associated visits in a decade, largely due to this current surge. Pregnant individuals are urged to take extra precautions and avoid high-risk environments where possible.

    National weather services are warning of dangerous heat in several regions. The Washington State Department of Health, for example, has issued statewide advisories for dangerously high temperatures, with highs near 100 degrees expected in some areas. Similar alerts span across southern New England, where the National Weather Service projects heat index values between 95 and 100 degrees from Tuesday through Thursday. Health officials urge listeners to drink water frequently, avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours, check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors, and use cooling centers if home environments become unsafe. Never leave children or pets in vehicles as internal temperatures can rise rapidly to life-threatening levels.

    Recent food safety alerts may also affect listeners. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for Prep Chef brand pulled pork products due to undeclared soy, which could pose significant risks for those with soy allergies. Additionally, Hartford Bakery, Inc. is recalling Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf bread due to undeclared hazelnuts. Those with allergies to soy or hazelnuts should check their food supply for these products and avoid consumption. Listeners are advised to consult the FDA or their local public health department for a complete list of recalled products and batch numbers.

    Adding to infectious disease concerns, state health agencies have reported new cases of measles in Kansas, North Dakota, and New Jersey, tied to ongoing outbreaks. Although Illinois has declared its recent measles cluster over, federal officials are closely monitoring a surge in vaccine skepticism nationwide, underscoring the importance of immunization for community protection. Tragically, in Arizona, The New York Times reports the first fatal case of pneumonic plague in nearly twenty years, emphasizing the need for vigilance around rodent and flea contact, especially in western states.

    On another front, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently changed COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for children and pregnant individuals, sparking controversy and a lawsuit by leading medical organizations seeking to reinstate previous guidance and restore trust in federal health messaging, according to a review by Alston & Bird.

    With multiple threats—from extreme heat to rising COVID and parvovirus cases, food allergen recalls, and renewed infectious disease outbreaks—public health authorities urge everyone to stay alert, follow local advisories, be vigilant about symptoms, and check for updates from trusted health sources.

  • Nationwide Health Alert: Tick Bites Surge, Measles Cases Spike, and Adolescent Prediabetes Rates Climb in 2025

    Nationwide Health Alert: Tick Bites Surge, Measles Cases Spike, and Adolescent Prediabetes Rates Climb in 2025
    2025/07/12
    Listeners, here are the latest updates on public health alerts across the United States for today, July 12, 2025.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an unprecedented rise in tick bites this season, with emergency room visits for tick-related issues reaching the highest levels since 2019. This surge is especially apparent in the Northeast, attributed to record tick populations and an extended tick season driven by climate change. Tick bites can transmit illnesses like Lyme disease, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and Powassan virus. Health experts stress the importance of prevention: wear long sleeves and insect repellent outdoors, and perform thorough tick checks, especially in areas such as the groin, armpits, scalp, and behind the knees. Showers soon after outdoor activity help, and using a mirror assists in inspecting hard-to-see spots. Dr. Céline Gounder highlights that milder winters and wetter springs are expanding tick habitats and season lengths, increasing overall risk according to CBS News.

    The CDC has also issued updated guidance in response to ongoing avian influenza A(H5N1) outbreaks in birds, dairy herds, and scattered human cases. Anyone exposed to H5N1-infected animals, even if wearing recommended protective equipment, should be actively monitored for symptoms — including respiratory issues, eye redness, or gastrointestinal symptoms — for 10 days following exposure. The CDC underscores the need for coordinated efforts among health, agricultural, and wildlife agencies to limit spread and adaptation of the virus, as reported by Infection Control Today.

    Turning to mosquito-borne illness, the U.S. continues to see West Nile virus activity, with the CDC reporting over 1,400 cases last year, primarily in warm regions. There is no cure for West Nile; symptoms such as fatigue and weakness can last for weeks. Preventive measures include staying indoors during peak mosquito hours and using EPA-registered repellent. Malaria remains rare, but the CDC reminds clinicians and the public to be alert for fever and flu-like symptoms in those with recent travel history, as highlighted by WellMed Healthcare.

    On the food safety front, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat pulled pork products from Roth Premium Foods, LLC due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. Consumers are advised to follow FSIS updates for product details and recall actions.

    In Pittsburgh, extreme heat warnings have prompted the city to open four Cooling Centers today from noon to 6 PM, providing a safe place for residents without air conditioning. This is especially critical for older adults, young children, and those with health conditions, as reported by CitiParks.

    The CDC is warning about a spike in measles cases, with 1,288 confirmed so far in 2025 — the highest since measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. Public health experts attribute this to declining vaccination rates, and urge listeners to ensure vaccinations are up to date to prevent further outbreaks, as stated by The BMJ.

    The Pennsylvania Department of Health is alerting parents and caregivers to a recall of SPPTTY children's bicycles sold online, due to dangerously high lead levels in parts. Parents whose children may have used these bikes should seek blood testing for lead exposure, stop use immediately, and follow instructions for refund and safe disposal, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

    A new CDC estimate finds nearly one in three U.S. adolescents aged 12 to 17 have prediabetes, a dramatic increase from previous years. While questions remain about the data's accuracy due to limited transparency, health professionals urge parents to focus on healthy diets, regular exercise, and screening for at-risk youth. This is a vital call to action to address rising rates of early-onset type 2 diabetes, as covered by the Associated Press.

    Lastly, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is warning physicians about increased phishing scams involving fraudulent fax requests for patient records, falsely claiming to be Medicare audits. Clinicians should never respond to unsolicited fax requests and verify any suspicious communication with their Medical Review Contractor, as highlighted by the American Medical Association.

  • Measles Outbreak Surges Nationwide: CDC Reports Record Cases and Urges Vaccination Amid Growing Health Concerns

    Measles Outbreak Surges Nationwide: CDC Reports Record Cases and Urges Vaccination Amid Growing Health Concerns
    2025/07/10
    Listeners, public health officials in the United States are urgently addressing a surge in measles cases, marking the worst year for this disease in more than three decades. As of July 10, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has reported 1,288 confirmed measles cases across 39 states, with 27 outbreaks recorded so far this year. This number already surpasses the total for 2019, the previous modern record, and with nearly six months still remaining in 2025, authorities are concerned about potential ongoing transmission. Some of the largest current outbreaks began about five months ago in undervaccinated communities in West Texas, and have since spread to other states. Tragically, there have been three confirmed deaths—two children in Texas and an adult in New Mexico—and dozens of hospitalizations. While the CDC says that transmission appears to be slowing in areas like Lubbock County, Texas, community spread remains a threat in multiple states, especially where vaccination rates are low. The CDC continues to urge everyone to ensure that they and their children are fully vaccinated, emphasizing that the measles, mumps, and rubella, or MMR, vaccine is the most effective protection against measles.

    Adding to current concerns, the Food and Drug Administration is investigating a new outbreak of Salmonella Anatum, which has so far sickened at least 10 people nationwide. The agency is in the very early phases of this investigation and has not yet disclosed patient details or the source of contamination. Separately, a Salmonella Oranienburg outbreak linked to imported Emek-brand Pistachio Cream is under ongoing review, with confirmed cases in Minnesota and New Jersey. No recall has yet been issued for the implicated product, so listeners are encouraged to stay updated on food safety alerts from the FDA.

    Another major health alert comes from the CDC, which now reports that nearly one in three American teenagers between ages 12 and 17 showed signs of prediabetes as of 2023. That translates to about 8.4 million adolescents at higher risk not only for type 2 diabetes but also for future heart disease and stroke. Health officials warn this trend is tied to rising teen obesity rates. They urge families to adopt healthier eating habits and to increase daily physical activity, stressing that early lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes.

    In the realm of vaccines and public health policy, there is increased concern and confusion following directives from federal leadership that removed COVID-19 vaccines from certain CDC immunization schedules. Major pediatric and medical organizations have spoken out, stating this change undermines public confidence and could jeopardize child and maternal health, especially if it leads to lower vaccine uptake during pregnancy or early childhood.

    Listeners are reminded to check with local health departments or the CDC’s official website for the most current recommendations, especially if living in or traveling to outbreak areas. Public health experts warn that vaccine-preventable illnesses can spread rapidly when immunization levels fall and recommend reviewing and updating vaccination status for all family members.
