On average, there are about 35 cases of Cyclospora each year in Kentucky. As of July 9, there were 61 cases with another 39 under investigation. To help prevent exposure to Cyclospora:
• Wash all produce thoroughly.
• Buy whole heads of lettuce/leafy greens rather than prewashed, bagged lettuce or salad mixes. Throw away the outer two to three layers of leaves and wash the inner leaves under running water.
• Advise high-risk patients to cook produce when possible (heating to 158°F/70°C).

Summertime shower and storm chances remain in the forecast for the start of the workweek. In typical summertime fashion, not all locations will receive rain, but where a storm does pop-up, torrential downpours, lightning, and gusty winds are possible. Good news though -- the active weather brings us some relief from last week's extreme heat!

There is an isolated risk for severe weather today. The most intense storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, small hail, frequent lightning, and torrential rainfall.
