Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Alert | Seattle News

Taco Bell’s shredded lettuce may be the culprit behind a major cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting five Midwest and East Coast states — federal investigators are zeroing in on Taylor Farms as the source. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue, and while the parasite spreads via contaminated food or water (not person-to-person), over 1,600 cases have been reported nationwide — with Michigan leading the count. Though Washington isn’t on the affected list, it’s seen 27 cases tied to international travel. The CDC urges caution with Taco Bell lettuce and recommends thorough produce washing and proper cooking to prevent infection. If you’re feeling sick after eating fresh produce, see a doctor — treatments are available. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Former Fall City Resident Gets 9 Years | Seattle News

A 27-year-old former Fall City resident, Payden Bussey, faces nine years in federal prison for possessing child sexual abuse images after admitting guilt — a case triggered by a Kik app tip in 2024. Already in custody for separate child assault charges in Utah and King County, Bussey also has pending state cases including rape and sodomy. His juvenile conviction for child molestation and prior sex offender treatment don’t shield him — investigators linked his devices to 15 suspected images, leading to this joint federal investigation with King County and Homeland Security. He’ll be on supervised release for life. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
