Bacteria levels prompt some beach closures ahead of Fourth of July
A seaside escape is always a popular summer activity, particularly for Fourth of July festivities, but with potentially harmful bacteria in various bodies of water, some beaches could be closed this holiday. Public health officials in New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Illinois, Michigan and California have all issued advisories ahead of the Fourth of July, citing excessive bacteria levels that could cause unsafe swimming conditions. Popular summer vacation travel destinations including San Diego, parts of Seattle, the western and easternmost counties of Long Island, and popular beaches around the Boston area all have active advisories online. Vibrio are coastal water-dwelling bacteria found in higher numbers during the warmer months of May through October, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is one of several types of bacteria that can lead to beach advisories. The pathogens lurking in our pools and lakes: What you need to know The CDC warns of nearly a dozen kinds of vibrio that can become potentially deadly if people get an infection called vibriosis, which occurs through swallowing the bacteria or getting it in a wound. Vibriosis can cause an array of symptoms in humans ranging from diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills and life-threatening infections. Check local county official government websites to see what warnings or updates are in effect for your area.

America's Favorite Sports Pose a Risk for Orbital Fractures
TOPLINE: Adolescents and men in the US faced a notable burden of orbital fractures and associated ocular injuries from sports such as baseball, softball, and bicycling, underscoring the need for protective glasses and clear safety rules — as well as the strict enforcement — of these regulations to prevent loss of sight during athletic activities. METHODOLOGY: Researchers analyzed data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from 2014 to 2023 to understand how often individuals suffered from orbital fractures while playing sports in the US. They looked up the database for cases of facial fractures linked to sports, excluding those involving motor vehicles, and reviewed trauma narratives specific to orbital fractures; records of individuals younger than 5 years were not analyzed. The national estimates of orbital fractures were calculated, and details such as the age of the patients, the type of sport played, the location of the fracture, and the frequency of associated ocular injuries were evaluated. TAKEAWAY: This study identified 1468 cases of orbital fractures stemming from sports, corresponding to an estimated 49,765 cases (95% CI, 47,219-52,311) nationwide; the incidence of these injuries remained largely stable throughout the study period. The study population had a mean age of 27.1 years, with men comprising 79% of cases, and the highest frequency of sports-related orbital fractures observed among those aged 10-19 years. Baseball (28.6%), bicycling (23.1%), and softball (6.7%) were the most frequently implicated sports in orbital fractures; most cases of orbital fractures (56.9%) were linked to activities in which participants were required to come into bodily contact with one another. An analysis of narratives specific to orbital fractures revealed that the orbital floor was the most commonly fractured site, accounting for 59.8% of cases; about 14% of patients sustained injuries to the eye or surrounding areas, most often cuts to the eyelid, scratches or cuts to the cornea, cuts to the eyebrow, and bleeding beneath the conjunctival membrane. IN PRACTICE: 'The sustained rates of orbital fractures highlight a critical gap in sporting protective equipment and emphasize the importance of adopting protective equipment specifically designed for orbital injury prevention, including face shields and protective eyewear,' the researchers reported. 'The findings presented here, coupled with evidence that properly fitted protective eyewear or face shields can reduce the risk of ocular injuries by 90%, emphasize the crucial role of eye protection in sports,' they added. SOURCE: This study was led by Niloufar Bineshfar, MD, of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami. It was published online on June 21, 2025, in Ophthalmology. LIMITATIONS: Some injuries may not have been reported or may have been labeled incorrectly, causing inaccuracy in the incidence rates for orbital fractures and related eye injuries. No details were available on the severity of the injuries, how people healed over time, or what care they received. Since injuries to other parts of the body were noted only from 2019 onward, some damage to the eye before that date may have been missed. DISCLOSURES: This study was funded by the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and a Research to Prevent Blindness Unrestricted Grant. The authors reported having no relevant conflicts of interest. This article was created using several editorial tools, including AI, as part of the process. Human editors reviewed this content before publication.

From your couch to your lawn, allergy season is still on
The Brief The moisture-rich air, plus the warm temperatures, creates a rampant breeding ground for certain allergens – and without any rain, the allergens remain airborne. If you struggle with allergens, such as mold, ragweed pollen, and dust, try using a dehumidifier, air-purifier or stay inside. CHICAGO - Have you been sneezing, wheezing, or maybe even a little fatigued lately? Spring is not the only season that brings allergies to the Midwest. The widespread effects of allergens linger from summer into early fall. The main driving force for this is the weather. What we know As of July 2nd, high temperatures for the rest of the week are expected to remain in the low to mid 90s. Combined with below-average June rainfall, which was about 1 to 2 inches below normal north of the I-74 corridor, the conditions are favorable for increased allergen activity. During the summer, the air temperature surges and is able to hold onto more water vapor without condensing. The moisture-rich air, plus the warm temperatures, creates a rampant breeding ground for certain allergens – and without any rain, the allergens remain airborne.
