Minor cuts and scrapes are common but knowing where to go for care can make all the difference in healing properly and avoiding complications.

Visit urgent care for wounds that may need stitches but have controlled bleeding, or when you're unsure if it's more serious. Go to the ER if bleeding won't stop, the cut is deep or contaminated, or you can see muscle or bone.

Not sure where to go? Our free, 24/7 Consult-A-Nurse® line is here to help. Call 844-70-NURSE (844-706-8773) anytime to speak with a licensed nurse for trusted advice.

What should you know about cyclospora, a foodborne parasite that can cause stomach illness? St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center encourages you to take simple steps to help protect yourself and your family.

Cyclospora spreads when people eat food or drink water contaminated with f***l matter. Direct person-to-person spread is unlikely.
Symptoms of cyclosporiasis can include:
• Watery diarrhea
• Stomach cramps or bloating
• Gas
• Nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Fatigue
• Vomiting in some cases

In the U.S., Cyclospora outbreaks have been linked to fresh produce, including leafy greens and herbs.
To help reduce your risk:
• Wash your hands before preparing or eating food
• Rinse fruits and vegetables under running water before eating, cutting or cooking
• Scrub firm produce, such as melons or cucumbers, with a clean produce brush
• Refrigerate cut, peeled or cooked produce promptly
• Follow CDC, FDA or local health department guidance about any recalled or implicated foods
If diarrhea is prolonged, severe or recurring, talk with your primary care doctor or visit an urgent care clinic. A stool test may help confirm the cause and guide treatment.
