TLDR Health Canada > CDC+FDA. Don't eat American produce if you don't wanna poop your pants.

By February 2026, USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service had lost 913 staff, while the Food and Nutrition Service lost 564. The agency’s National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection was also axed. All told, more than 20,000 workers left USDA last year.

Cyclosporiasis is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis, a single-celled parasite that lives exclusively in humans and causes particularly violent and long-lasting diarrhea. Infection is almost always through ingesting food or water contaminated with feces containing cyclospora oocysts; these take many days to become infectious, so person-to-person transmission is very unlikely.

In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money.

PS:

IMO we're going to see quality control issues in every single American export. I would be extremely wary of using medications or medical devices produced in the USA. With no government entities enforcing regulations we have to assume corners will be cut at the expense of quality and safety.

    well ivermectine deals with parasites, I believe Trump's Diarrhea is caused by Cyclosporiasis which is a parasite so that may actually help...

    No cyclosporiasis is a parasite of protozoan origin like giardia but unlike giardiasis is not susceptible to metronidazole but does respond to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole AKA Bactrim. Ivermectin is an antihelmintic so it does not work on protozoan infections.
