POV: The salad was not, in fact, looking out for your health. 🥗

If you've seen recent headlines about Cyclospora outbreaks in the U.S. and are suddenly side-eyeing your lunch, you're not alone.

Cyclospora is a parasite that can cause a foodborne illness called cyclosporiasis, often linked to contaminated fresh produce. Symptoms may include:
Nausea
Frequent diarrhea
Stomach cramps
Fatigue
Low-grade fever

The tricky part? Symptoms may not show up until several days, or over a week, after exposure.

The good news: cyclosporiasis is treatable, and you don't have to spend hours searching your symptoms online trying to figure out what's going on.

If you're experiencing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, AFC can evaluate your condition, help determine the cause, and recommend appropriate treatment so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

Back-to-school season means more time in classrooms, on sports teams, and for many families, lingering days at the pool. Unfortunately, it can also mean an increase in ear infections.👂

Whether it's a middle ear infection that follows a cold or flu-like illness, or swimmer's ear caused by trapped moisture in the ear canal, ear pain can quickly disrupt your child's school, sleep, and activities.

Common signs to watch for include:
👂 Ear pain or discomfort
🤒 Fever
😣 Irritability or trouble sleeping
🔊 Difficulty hearing
🏊 Pain that worsens when the outer ear is touched

If your child develops ear pain or other concerning symptoms, AFC is here to help with convenient walk-in care 7 days a week. Our team can evaluate ear infections, provide treatment recommendations, and help your child get back to learning, playing, and enjoying the school year.

Is your back-to-school checklist complete? 📚✏️

Between shopping for supplies, preparing lunches, and getting back into a routine, it's easy to overlook a few important health-related tasks before the first day of school.

As you prepare for a successful school year, don't forget to:
✔ Schedule school or sports physicals early
✔ Review immunization records and required health forms
✔ Update any medication or action plans needed for school
✔ Pack a simple health kit for your child's backpack

School physicals are a great opportunity to review your child's overall health, discuss nutrition and physical activity, address concerns such as allergies or asthma, and help ensure they're ready for the classroom, the field, or the stage.

AFC is here to help with convenient walk-in care, school physicals, sports physicals, and more to help your child start the school year healthy, confident, and ready to learn.
