Before I developed Long Covid, after one ‘mild’ infection, I had had one migraine, one bout of heartburn, one bee sting & one fractured rib. I was not in ‘vulnerable’ group. It still managed to disable me to the point where I lost my home, my job, my friends & my future. #MaskUp

Screenshot of a paragraph from the linked article.
Text: LAKELAND, Fla., July 29, 2026 ­
Publix is recalling all lots of GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries because they may be contaminated with Escherichia coli O145:H28 (E. coli O145). E. coli O145 is a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) that can cause illness characterized by severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (which may be bloody) and vomiting. While most healthy individuals recover within a week, some infections may result in a serious complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), particularly in young children, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems.
