Explosive diarrhea doesn’t take long to show up, and it may be hard to identify which company or who’s responsible when you fired all of the people from the department that it’s supposed to police those type of things.
It seems that cyclospora normally averages about a week between ingestion and making its presence known.

This is, in my opinion, something that qualifies as being a long time.

They fired 8 people that were in response roles, not preventative.

Isn't the "explosive" superfluous?

Isn't all diarrhea explosive? Has anyone had "unexplosive" diarrhea? Or what aspect of the ordinance renders it "explosive"? And the cause is essentially exposure of the foodstuffs (in this case, likely leafy greens) to feces?

So poop causes poop.

Who pooped in my salad :(

As an IBS enjoyer, no, not all diarrhea is explosive.
No, it’s actually one of the symptom, it is described as explosive, not a standard diarrhea
To me "explosive" means it comes unannounced and evacuates bowels within few seconds, ovepowering any sphincter resistance.

If that's your normal poop maybe seek medical advice.

No, from what I have heard "explosive" isn't being treated with enough weight.

Not all diarrhea is "explosive". This is worse than your average food poisoning from everything i've read (luckily, no personal experience so far).
