‘Serious illness’: Ohio warns of cyclosporiasis outbreak causing explosive diarrhea
6:43 here on your Wednesday morning kicks off moves to go with *** live look over downtown and the sun coming up. It’s comfortable outside right now, but we do have rain back in the forecast to end the week. We’re tracking everything you need to know to make your plans for today. Yeah, most plans outside though today shouldn’t be an issue. Probably not going to run into much rain, when it does rain, it could be *** good one for, for *** little bit. Yes, meteorologist Adam Bernison timing out when those storm chances could return, Adam, but for now. I mean, you might not need to send the kids to camp with like an umbrella today. Yeah, it’s really much that spotty rain threat we’ve been kind of looking at much of this week. Most people get by dry. If you do find yourself under that one shower though, it can be some decent showers and uh you may get the, get that lottery ticket if that does pop over you because that’s kind of the chances for today where it could pop up right over your home, but then *** mile down the road. It’s completely dry out there and that’s what we’re gonna be dealing with for this afternoon evening. By Thursday and Friday though, that’s really the impacts, uh, or more impactful days where you wanna make sure you get that umbrella, get that rain jacket out, especially Friday if you do have any outdoor plans, you may need to kind of adjust that or start thinking about some backup plans as we get closer in towards the end of. The week, but out there today we’ll have mostly dry skies through this morning, mix of sun and clouds out there through the day. Once we get into this afternoon, evening, here’s where we could see that spotty shower chance. I do think those better chances are across parts of northern Kentucky, kind of south central Ohio, but this is still probably *** little bit too active, uh, showing up on the future cast. So for today we’re starting out in the 70s. We’ll warm our way up. Up into the mid-eighties this afternoon, very seasonal highs yet again. If you enjoyed yesterday or if you got outside much of yesterday, it’s more of the same. Ahead of my forecast though, we’re going to be talking more about those impacts later this week. I’ll have more of the hour by hour forecast coming up. Kelly, Adam, selfishly, I hope they don’t happen during the morning commute because we’re enjoying *** nice calm, quiet one for us on *** Wednesday, and you can see traffic looking great in just about every direction. 75 looking great. 71 looking great. Starting to pick up *** little bit, but still again, pretty quiet out there and not gonna have much company if you’re hitting the road. So 71-75 at Kyle’s Lane again, traffic heading inbound and outbound is pretty consistent, but again, no reason to find an alternate route. No crashes to report either on anywhere on our big map. Starting to see some spots again with that yellow, but nothing major. Travel time looking excellent for us this morning from 71, 74, 75 coming in from Northern. Kentucky on 471 as well. Should anything change, we’ll let you know. Megan. All right, Kelly, thank you. We have breaking news this morning. President Trump saying he thinks the ceasefire with Iran is over. This comes after the US launched more strikes against Iran for attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. WLWT Washington correspondent Rachel Hirschheimer joining us live from the White House. And Rachel, that major statement that we just heard the president make could change the course of this war. Meghan, it absolutely can, and this morning President Trump appeared really frustrated while he was telling reporters that he believes the ceasefire and that memorandum of understanding that was signed just *** couple of weeks ago with Iran is over. He also added he doesn’t even want to deal with Iran anymore. The scum And uh So we don’t like him. I don’t like him. And they’re evil people, and it’s the denuclearization of Iran. And we’re going to denuke it. We’re not going to let them because they’re crazy and they can’t have *** nuclear weapon. The president went on to call the Iranian negotiators liars. Now US Central Command shared this video from Tuesday showing forces conducting retaliatory strikes after Iran attacked 3 commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Now this flare-up and constant back and forth between these two sides raises just even more questions about the path to end this war. Last month, the US and Iran agreed for Tehran. To dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which can be used to build *** nuclear weapon, the agreement also gives both sides 60 days to negotiate broader agreements, but the renewed strikes creates even more uncertainty towards an end to the fighting. And on Tuesday, the Trump administration also announced it revoked part of the ceasefire that lifted sanctions, allowing Iran to sell oil on the globe. Market negotiations to reach *** final deal were due to begin after the late Supreme Leader’s funeral, but Meghan, these new strikes just yesterday and the president’s new comments this morning are just throwing all of this into question. Rachel, talking impacts here at home, we’re keeping an eye on all of the markets as they open later this morning, but how are these new strikes impacting oil prices? Well this morning oil prices jumped more than 6% after the US launched these retaliatory strikes against Iran. Brent crude oil increased to more than $78 *** barrel, while US benchmark crude inched towards $75 *** barrel, and prices for both of these recently declined to where they were before the war with Iran began in February, which was several dollars lower. And remember, Oil prices impact what you pay for gas at the pump, and today AAA is reporting the average price for *** gallon of regular gas increased slightly to 380. It is *** really big difference compared to May when gas prices peaked at 456 cents per gallon, but still about 80 cents higher than before this war was launched. Megan, all right, Rachel Hirsheimer reporting live for us there at the White House. Rachel, thank you. 6:49. We’ll learn more today about *** lawsuit against the University of Cincinnati and an off-campus dorm. We’re expecting to hear from the student at the center of this case who was raped and robbed inside that housing complex nearly three years ago. The victim was *** freshman assigned by UC to the Deacon Apartment building on Straight Street back in 2023. Kadarius Short snuck into the complex pretending to be *** resident assistant. Eventually robbing and sexually assaulting the victim, he’s now in prison after pleading guilty to the attack. The victim is now suing UC and the owner of the Deacon, accusing them of ignoring security failures. They’ve not publicly responded to the lawsuit just yet. The victim and her family plan to hold *** news conference today at 11:00 a.m. We’ll have that covered for you. *** new push starts today to get parents involved in the future of Cincinnati public schools. WLWT News Five’s Nicole Aponte joining us live from Western Hills University High School. Nicole, that’s where the first of *** series of town hall meetings will be held this morning. Kelly, good morning to you. Parents are invited to take part in what the district is calling transparent conversations about the strategic plan ahead of the start of the school year. Leaders have been working in refining this plan to address issues district-wide. The timing of this especially important as CPS has been dealing with *** budget deficit and significant layoffs. Leaders are also considering *** five-year levy request during November’s election. The goal of these town halls is to gather input and help fill in any gaps the district might have missed. Deputy Superintendent Alicia Smith says the plan had to be adjusted because of the budget cuts. Now, if you can’t make it to the discussion today here at Western Hills High School at 9:30 a.m., there’s another one planned at Walnut Hills High School at 5:00 p.m. along with several others. During the rest of the week. We have that information over on WWT.com. Reporting live from Western Hills High School this morning, Nicole *** Ponte, WLWUT News 5. All right, Nicole, thank you. Today, the man linked to *** deadly shooting at *** metro bus stop is expected to be arraigned in court. 33-year-old Robert Davis is charged with murder. Police say that he fired multiple shots just before 8:30 yesterday morning at the stop there by Lynn and Liberty Streets in the West End. Six year old Anthony Creer Jr. was hit by at least one bullet and later died at the hospital. Police are still investigating *** motive for this shooting. Court records show there is video evidence as well. We’ve reached out to Metro to try and obtain that footage. We’ll let you know when we hear back. 6:51 funeral arrangements are set for the off-duty Florence police officer shot and killed by Boone County deputies. Officials say 3 seven-year. Dustin Zinc was armed and threatened to harm himself and others while deputies were responding to *** domestic violence call at his home. He was ultimately killed by deputies. The Florence Police Department announced that the family finalized funeral arrangements. They will hold *** private visitation for first responders, family, and friends from 4 to 7 at Crossroads Church in Florence. Tomorrow, then *** private funeral will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. All right. Breaking overnight, Denmark’s Prime Minister is responding to President Trump’s renewed demand to control Greenland. She said her country is quote ready to defend the territory. Now Trump also threatening to pull all US troops out of Europe in response to the continued pushback. That he’s received from NATO, that is the International military alliance that’s actually meeting right now in Turkey. Several NATO allies reaffirming support for Denmark, including Finland and Iceland. Trump claimed, without evidence, Russian and Chinese ships have surrounded Greenland. Adding that US control is about international security. So let’s take *** live look from the NATO summit right now. You can see someone has just arrived here as we are watching many start to arrive for this morning, meetings scheduled for this morning. Countries are expected to coordinate plans to increase military spending, including more aid for Ukraine. Trump, for his part, will sit down with Ukraine’s president today. That’s slated for about 7:30. Those two planning to hold *** joint press conference 9:15 our time. So *** lot more to come here this morning. Automated license plate readers, also known as Flock cameras, going to be the focus of *** big discussion in Newport tonight as police consider whether they’re needed in the middle of *** growing controversy nationwide. WLWT News 5’s Giacomo Luca live for us from Newport City Hall with what you need to know about this, Giacomo. Yes, Megan, well tonight will really be an opportunity to ask questions, show your support or your concerns for the technology. No decisions are being made tonight, but officers will be on hand to answer those questions along with representatives from FLC. Now I spoke with Newport Police Captain Kevin Drohan ahead of tonight’s meeting. He tells me the city is currently piloting 16 cameras. Like this set at 11th and Monmouth, and they’ve shown promise. The technology captures license plates and logs passing vehicles. They can flag vehicles associated with crimes but are not used for things like traffic enforcement like speeding. So far they’ve also helped Newport police make arrests in hit and runs and *** retail theft ring, but that tech has also raised. Privacy concerns and before making *** decision on *** permanent program, they want to hear from you. Now if the city does move forward with these flock cameras, they are considering 6 cameras that would likely be at high traffic areas in 3 locations. You can have your voice heard tonight at 6 p.m. here at City Hall. We’re live in Newport, Giaca Maluca WLWT News 5.

Ohio health officials are urging residents to take extra precautions when handling fruits and vegetables to help prevent a disease that can lead to watery, and sometimes explosive, diarrhea

As of July 2, the Ohio Department of Health has reported 177 cases of cyclosporiasisin the state this year. Of those, 171 cases occurred in June, with most happening since June 20

“Fortunately, there have been no deaths in Ohio, as is consistent with our past experiences with this illness,” ODH Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said in a press release. “Nevertheless, this is a serious illness that can cause dehydration and require people to seek emergency medical care, and it should be taken seriously.”

28 Ohioans have been hospitalized as a result of the disease

Cyclosporiasis is typically not life-threatening. The illness is caused by a microscopic parasite, Cyclospora cayetanensis, also known as Cyclospora. The disease is generally transmitted by eating contaminated produce

ODH and local health departments say they are working with neighboring state and federal partners to investigate the outbreak. This includes conducting interviews and traceback investigations to help identify any potential common exposures

Watery diarrhea is the most common symptom of cyclosporiasis, while bloating or cramping or loss of appetite can also occur

If you experience these symptoms, health officials say to contact your healthcare provider

The disease can be treated with antibiotics, along with rest and fluids

To prevent cyclosporiasis, health officials say the following steps should be taken:

• Wash your hands with soap and water before and after preparing raw fruit and vegetables
• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water. Firm produce, such as melons, should be scrubbed with a clean produce brush.
• Eating or refrigerating cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables promptly.

ODH says the county with the highest number of cases is Lucas County, where Toledo is. Wood County, which neighbors Lucas, has 20 reported cases

Seven total cases have been reported in Greater Cincinnati by health officials: Five in Hamilton County and one each in Clermont and Warren counties
