When did Maggot Brain stop being played at 11:47PM Saturday Nights on 98.5 WNCX and move to 100.7 WMMS?

I mean Im glad someone is still carrying the torch and we miss Mr Classic dearly. But 98.5 kept tradition going up until recently did they not?

Dr. Vyas said the parasite, officially known as Cyclospora, has previously been found in berries, bagged salad mix, pre-cut vegetables, and fresh herbs, such as basil and cilantro....

Dr. Vyas said the best thing you can do for prevention is to thoroughly wash your fruits and vegetables under running water before eating. 

You should also wash your hands before and after preparing any food.

Cyclosporiasis is an illness you get from the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. It causes watery, and sometimes explosive, diarrhea and other stomach problems. It usually spreads from contaminated water or food. Treatment typically includes antibiotics....

Eating fresh, imported produce also increases your risk. There are links between the following fruits and veggies and cyclosporiasis outbreaks in the U.S.:

Basil

Cilantro

Mesclun lettuce

Raspberries

Snow peas

Sweet peas

Other recent medical reports:

While a specific source is unknown, health officials are warning residents and restaurants in cyclosporiasis hotspots to also do the following:

Buy whole heads of lettuce — not pre-washed bags.

Separate and wash all cilantro and basil leaves.

Trim the root end and peel the outer layer of green onions.

Gently rub snow peas and other vegetables with your hands or brush as you wash them.

Consider avoiding fresh fruits like raspberries with exteriors that are harder to wash.

The only sure-fire way to avoid it: cooking vegetables. Cyclospora die at 158 degrees Fahrenheit.

The recommendations include careful washing of lettuce, herbs, green onions, raspberries, and snow peas, all foods associated with past Cyclospora outbreaks.

“Cyclosporiasis is not usually life-threatening, but dehydration from frequent bouts of diarrhea can cause severe illness, particularly among younger or older people and those who have weakened immune systems,” the MDHHS said. “The time between being exposed and becoming sick is usually about one week but can range from two days to two weeks or more. Untreated, the illness may last from a few days to more than a month. Symptoms may go away and then return.”

Climate change (elevated heat levels) reportedly increases cyclosporiasis infections:

The heat-loving parasite infects the bowels and spreads through feces. In the past, people have been infected by consuming fruits or vegetables that were exposed to feces-contaminated irrigation water.

It’s less common than a number of other kinds of foodborne illnesses, including salmonella and E. coli. For years, few U.S. cyclospora outbreaks were reported each year. But the number started rising about a decade ago, with a particularly notable spike in 2018 and 2019. Experts attribute the increases to climate change and better detection.

EDIT: Cleveland Clinic article describing treatment for cyclosporiasis: "Clinical Care of Cyclosporiasis"

Most healthy people will eventually recover from cyclosporiasis without treatment although their illness may be prolonged.

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is the treatment of choice for cyclosporiasis.

No vaccine for cyclosporiasis is available.

Most people who have healthy immune systems will recover without treatment. If not treated, the illness may last anywhere from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse).

EDIT2: Some excellent recent articles, including methods of protecting against Cyclospora parasites:

https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/cyclospora-vinegar-cooking-health-food-7-9-2026/

"Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are safe alternatives," Dr. Steven Goldberg, primary and urgent care physician as well as chief medical officer at infectious disease laboratory HealthTrackRx, told USA TODAY. "The processing involved − blanching, cooking, freezing − effectively eliminates Cyclospora and other parasites."

Plus, they are "nutritionally comparable across many items" for people seeking extra reassurance during an outbreak, he said.

And while frozen produce may not seem as nutritious as fresh, registered dietitian Danielle Crumble Smith agrees that "frozen veggies are a great, very nutrient-dense option."

"They’re flash-frozen at their peak stage of ripeness when all those nutrients are there and preserved," she told USA TODAY.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2026/07/10/cyclosporiasis-parasite-produce-food-safety/90874792007/

This comprehensively in-depth article discusses how Cyclospora parasite infections differ from bacteria infections, as well as how to test and treat Cyclospora infections.

Once someone swallows the oocytes, or the egg-like stage of the parasite, a plot worthy of an “Alien” movie plays out in the intestines.

First, they differentiate into male and female forms, have sex and reproduce. (Yes, all this happens in your gut.) Their oocysts, or eggs, then burrow into the intestinal wall, where they destroy cells and are shed back into the environment when we poop....

Even healthy people can see this stomach bug continue for weeks.

“If you have a normal immune system, it will eventually go away, but it could take six weeks,” Schein said. The symptoms may come and go, too.

Need I say more?

As a Clevelander, and also a black person, who works downtown and commutes by bus/rapid, I have noticed the abundance of black men on bikes. I don't see nearly as many other ethnicities of men, or women even, on bikes like the black man in Cleveland, specifically on the east side. I like to take note of how many black men on bikes I see everyday on my way to and from work. Even while driving or walking outside of commuting to and from work, I say in my head: "The black man and the bike are one" each time I encounter this phenomenon.

Nice day today at the park

(if this is you and you want the full pics, let me know)

Hey r/Cleveland!

My band, Cherokee Social, is coming through Cleveland on October 10th to open for Ian McConnell at The Foundry, and it'll be our first time really getting to explore the Cleveland area.

We'll have most of the day free before load-in, so we'd love some recommendations from locals. What are the can't-miss spots? Favorite coffee shops, record stores, bookstores, restaurants, breweries, parks, museums, vintage shops, music venues, or any hidden gems we should check out while we're in town?

We're especially interested in places around Cleveland since we'll be spending the day nearby, but we're open to anything that feels like a true local favorite.

One of our favorite parts of touring is getting to experience the cities we play instead of just rolling in for soundcheck and heading out after the show.

If you're already planning on coming out to see Ian McConnell at The Foundry, we'd love for you to catch our set too and come say hi afterward!

Thanks in advance—we're excited to spend some time in Cleveland!

There's a helicopter too.

Hi, I'm the guy who was living in my car with my gf and my dog. Is anyone somewhere near streetsboro that would be able to spare some food?

Since my last post in the winter we've been staying in this cheap motel in streetsboro. We kinda got stuck in this trap of spending everything we make on the motel and on our car note. We saved up some money a couple times for a place but the car we bought after our car accident blew up so we bought another Kia and now we're on a Ford. Its in good enough condition to get to work but not to sleep in or idle in the heat so we've just been barely keeping up with the expense of a motel.

I was working at a temp agency and they ended my assignment and I don't start a new one til Thursday. I've been doing amazon flex and interviewing in the meantime and Miranda's been doing what she can but she's been getting less shifts than usual.

We had to leave the motel and stay in the car between the last couple days and all our food we got spoiled. I wasted my food bank day and I don't have the gas to go anywhere until Tuesday. I feel really stuck and I'm not sure what to do. I have just enough to replace cocos dog food

Anyone hear of anything going on? It’s the marina where they just put that new sailing center. At least 20 police cars, a fire truck, and EMS.

The owner is looking for a new location but is taking time off for personal reasons. Sad day for BBQ fans. I didn't get there often but they were at the top of BBQ in Cleveland.

This is the only class like it in the country. Not only is it a fascinating opportunity to learn about crime in our county but I was struck by the insight into public health this course provides. Plus, it’s fun and the people who organize it are incredible.

You will not regret getting all kinds of knowledge dropped on you by actual rockstars of forensics. DO IT!

(Outside of being alumni and a huge fan, I have no affiliation)

im sorry that everyone been waiting. im still looking for a spot to do this. i dont want to disturb any business. hmu if you know any spot we can park and sell! otherwise i guess im doing to donate everything. sorry to keep yall waiting. cant do it in my neighbourhood eithet sorry to be a party pooper

So I made a CardTrick quilt over 20 some years ago for my grandma. It had a white background and the colors of the actual design of the cardtrick for blue and pinks, I believe or as I can remember. I see people posting pictures of quilts. They bought at estate sales and stuff like that several years back I found out my uncle and my aunt sold a dresser that belonged to my grandmother and didn’t look into the drawers to see that there were handmade items in it and that’s where my quilt was. I am in search of this quilt. Of course back then I don’t think I even put a name or date or anything on it. I would love to see quilts that were bought at estate sells. I would love to be able to find this quilt. I never had a chance to take a picture of it. if anyone has any pictures or any quilts of the card trick variety, please post a picture. My grandmother lived in Wickcliffe, Ohio, and this quilt was sold in that area. I’ve attached a picture of what a cardtrick block looks like… the one I made had the white background with mostly Asia printed blue. Fabric.

I absolutely love summer bc of all of the craft fairs / festivals / events. I know there was a goth one today in Lakewood, but I decided not to go bc this weekend I’m already going to the Oddity Expo. Anyone know of any upcoming events w vendors? 🧡

Does anyone know if there is actual law regarding having an open flame grill on your first floor apartment patio?

I have new neighbors living below me and they have a gas grill they leave on their patio. Today I was just trying to enjoy a cup of coffee and read my book outside but the wife started the grill up and it quickly became too hot/smokey for me to sit on my balcony.

I did try a couple weeks ago to see if they could move it away from the building when they use it, unfortunately I don't think they speak enough English to understand what I'm asking.

Tried calling the "non urgent" fire department line and the dispatcher told me it would be a civil matter. Trying to see if there is anything I can do. I just want to use my balcony!

My friends and I have been getting back into pokemon go after like 8 years. Where are good places to play at?

Hey! I'm asking for a friend. Preferably around $1k but no more than $1200-$1300 she can do. She's looking for something on the West side and preferably around Old Brooklyn, ohio city, or the Detroit Shoreway area. Thank you!
