In the last month we have seen a flurry of warnings that lettuce might be infected with cyclosporiasis. To date, there have been over 60 cases here in Connecticut.

Wildfires from the west brought smoke to the East Coast, leading to air quality warnings and recommendations for residents to stay inside, if they can.

Today, we get updates on these public health situations, and hear what you need to do to stay well.

GUESTS:
Dr. Manisha Juthani: commissioner, Connecticut Department of Public Health
Scott Dolch: President and CEO of the Connecticut Restaurant and Hospitality Association
Connecticut State Senator Dr. Saud Anwar: East Hartford, South Windsor, East Windsor, and Ellington
Indu Upadhyaya: Food Safety Extension Specialist, UConn Extension
