Parasites, airstrikes & a psychic Friday? Jackson's week is wild 🔮
Good morning, Jackson County. A microscopic parasite is making a very unwelcome summer appearance — Cyclosporiasis has hit 177 Ohioans this year, with four cases confirmed right here in the county. The culprit? Contaminated produce. The fix? A thorough rinse under running water before eating. Simple habit, serious payoff. On the global front, fresh U.S.-Iran airstrikes near the Strait of Hormuz rattled markets overnight, pushing oil prices to an eight-week high — worth keeping an eye on at the pump.
On a brighter note, Jackson County has a packed week ahead. Thursday brings the East Jackson community meeting, Friday invites you to explore your intuitive side, and Tecumseh Family Night Out lands Monday the 21st. Fresh property listings are also live in Real Estate if you're in browsing mode.
