There was an uptick in cases of cryptosporidiosis in Cape Girardeau County last month 👀

Most people get it after accidentally swallowing water that has the parasite in it (like contaminated pool or lake water, for example). It usually goes away by itself in a few weeks, but it can be a serious if you have a weakened immune system. To learn more, visit my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21023-cryptosporidiosis

Did you know that gum disease has been linked to heart health, diabetes management, and even pregnancy outcomes?

It's National Dental Hygiene Month, a reminder that oral health is closely tied to your overall health and wellbeing 😁

Brushing 2x a day ✅, flossing daily ✅, and limiting sugary snacks and drinks ✅ remain the basics of good dental care. But getting regular cleanings and checkups with a dentist is equally important too!
