Possibility of a summer surge, due to the new/ old "cicada" variant.
Not any more infectious than other variants, your Covid booster (you get booster shots, right?) will cover this one too.

Why this brief is relevant to mental health professionals

The piece highlights a somatic mechanism—gut-detected parasite signals influencing brain appetite regulation—illustrating how physical illness can rapidly alter mood, energy, and motivation. Recognizing such interoceptive connections supports a biopsychosocial approach, helping clinicians anticipate appetite-related fluctuations and their potential impact on sleep, stress, and adherence to care plans in patients across therapist, social work, and mental health disciplines.

Article Title: Scientists discover why your appetite suddenly disappears when you’re sick

Scientists have uncovered how your body actually tells your brain to stop eating when you’re sick. In a new study, researchers found that specialized cells in the gut detect parasites and send signals that ultimately trigger the brain to suppress appetite. This process builds over time, explaining why you may feel fine at first but then suddenly lose interest in food as an infection takes hold.

I talk about the #mental #illness of #denial a lot. #America has so much denial on so many fronts. It is the most common mental illness in the world. And that it is pervasive. It's a long road baby. She does not have it twisted back here. I see the light, but I won't see the end of this tunnel.

As a disabled person I’m so tired of visiting doctors/etc. so much. I don’t even go to them as much as some folks but I feel drained just thinking about it. I don’t have a fear of the setting or needles. Still I do get anxious even when it’s with someone that I’ve seen several times. Anyway. I have to go to get looked at because I still have bronchitis symptoms. (Bloody mucus being coughed up, real fun /s) I don’t care for that or for driving to go get prescriptions afterward.
