FDA Confirms One Dead After Massive Egg Recall
Per the FDA, the illness occurs within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food, with symptoms lasting between four and seven days. Children, elderly, and the immunocompromised carry the biggest risk of severe reactions. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.The outbreak spanned ten states and 134 people were confirmed to have been infected, resulting in 38 hospitalizations. The CDC declared that the outbreak has ended. At the time Men's Journal originally reported on the recall, 21 people had been hospitalized with no confirmed deaths. The FDA updated the initial recall statement on July 10.
At this point, all recalled eggs from August Egg Company have passed their expiration date and should not be on shelves. The company noted that this was a "voluntary recall" because Salmonella enteritidis "poses a health risk."

"It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens," August Egg Company said in a statement on June 6. "August Egg Company's internal food safety team also is conducting its own stringent review to identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring."
The recall had spread to the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, Utah, and Washington.
There have been a slew of food recalls lately, as the FDA recently pulled chocolate products, water bottles sold at Walmart, and more than 367,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon off of shelves.FDA Confirms One Dead After Massive Egg Recall first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 12, 2025

Camping Tips: 10 Ways to Stay Cool While Sleeping Outside This Summer
The days are long and temperatures are high, which means it's camping season. Whether you're tent camping, glamping or backpacking, spending time outdoors and sleeping under the stars is a fantastic way to decompress and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Spending time outside has countless physical and mental health benefits. It can lower cortisol levels and stimulate the release of serotonin, often called the "feel-good" neurotransmitter. This helps to regulate mood and enhance your overall sense of well-being. It can also improve sleep quality by resetting your circadian rhythm to align with the natural rising and setting of the sun. One obvious downside to summer camping is the heat. Dr. Michael Gradisar, head of sleep science at Sleep Cycle, explains, 'Overheating during the night disrupts sleep, in the form of more frequent awakenings, night sweats and/or reduced sleep quality. For those already prone to rumination or insomnia, high nighttime temperatures act as an added stressor, making it even more likely you'll wake and struggle to drift off again. The result? Fragmented sleep and groggy warm mornings.' The good news is that there are ways to stay comfortable while camping this summer. Here are ten simple tips for keeping cool while sleeping outside. How to stay cool while camping 1. Mesh is best When camping in hot and humid conditions, choose a lightweight and breathable tent with plenty of mesh material and ventilation panels. Tents with a mesh canopy are ideal because they allow for adequate airflow and prevent heat from building up inside. If you're sharing the tent with a partner, children or pets, make sure there is sufficient space for everyone. Feeling sweaty and cramped all night is a surefire way to damper your camping experience. My two-person tent is made almost entirely of mesh, which is great for those warm summer nights outside. Aly Lopez/CNET 2. Shoo, rainfly Choosing whether to use the rainfly can significantly impact your comfort while camping. I've made the mistake of leaving it off when I shouldn't have on multiple occasions, waking up with chattering teeth to unexpected rain and snow. I've also kept the rainfly on during warm nights, leading to restless slumber in a much-too-stuffy tent. If there's no precipitation in the forecast, it's best to leave the rainfly off while sleeping on those hot summer nights. The extra airflow not only helps prevent overheating, but you'll also have a great view of the night sky above. 3. Tent location and angle Where and when you pitch your tent are crucial components for a comfortable camping experience. First, prioritize a campsite that offers plenty of shade. This will help keep you cooler and prevent your tent from accumulating heat. Consider keeping your tent disassembled during the day and reassembling it after the sun has gone down -- that way, there's less opportunity for it to heat the tent. For optimal ventilation, angle your tent so the door faces the breeze. Open all the vents and mesh windows, but ensure the door stays zipped to keep bugs out. If you want or need to use your rainfly, try one that extends past your tent door to create a small awning or shaded area in the front, which can help keep the interior cooler during the day. An awning can provide some extra shade and keep the inside of your tent cooler. Shepard/Getty Images It's best practice to go to bed and wake up with the sun while camping, as your tent will warm up quickly as soon as the sun rises. If you're trying to sleep in because you went to bed too late, you may find yourself uncomfortably tossing and turning in a stuffy tent all morning.

Be mindful of the sun's movement throughout the day and adjust the tarp as needed for optimal protection. Leave space between the sunshade and your tent to prevent hot air and condensation from getting trapped. I also recommend placing a groundsheet or tarp underneath your tent. It will add an extra layer of protection between you and the hard ground and safeguard against potential rainfall. A tarp can also extend the lifespan of your tent by protecting its floor from tears and rips. 5. Use a portable fan Running a fan in your tent at night can help circulate the air and create a cool breeze, allowing you to sleep more comfortably. Portable fans come in various shapes and sizes, offering adjustable speeds and customizable airflow settings to fit your preferences. Fans designed for tent camping are typically lightweight, battery-operated (some are rechargeable) and may have hooks or clips for convenient attachment inside your tent. You'll want to consider the battery's run-time and how often you'd need to charge your fan if you're camping for multiple nights without electricity access. When setting up the fan in your tent, position it above your sleeping area rather than on the ground to avoid obstructions caused by people or gear. If your tent has vents, align the fan to draw cool air in or push warm air out through these openings. One portable option is the Coghlan's Camping Fan, which features three fan speeds, a hook for hanging and a built-in light. If you want something more powerful, check out the Shark FlexBreeze Fan, chosen by CNET editors as one of the best outdoor tech products of 2025. Air conditioning units, such as the EcoFlow Wave portable AC unit, are also available if you want to indulge a bit and your campsite situation allows for it. If you're looking for a fan to cool you down as you move around during the day, consider a wearable neck fan, which allows you to stay hands-free while enjoying a refreshing breeze.

They don't have as much insulation, and the open space between you and the ground offers more airflow and heat loss. Dillon Lopez/CNET If your camping environment is safe and the weather is clear, you might consider skipping the tent and using a hammock or trying cowboy camping instead. Cowboy camping means sleeping on the ground with a mattress pad and sleeping bag (without a tent for shelter). As always, be mindful of potential wildlife hazards and securely store any food and attractants to avoid drawing local wildlife to your campsite. 7. Skip the sleeping bag Most sleeping bags are designed to provide insulation and warmth. Unless you have a breathable warm-weather sleeping bag, you might want to ditch it altogether. Instead, pack a lightweight sheet made of moisture-wicking materials such as linen, bamboo or cotton. Check out our list of the best cooling sheets for hot sleepers in 2025, tested and approved by CNET experts. You can also stick your feet out from the sheet as you sleep, which will help regulate your core body temperature. 'As the body prepares for sleep, it naturally releases heat, especially from the hands, feet and face. This cooling coincides with increased sleepiness. But when your environment is too warm, your body can't shed heat effectively, making it harder to fall and stay asleep,' says Gradisar. 8. Stay hydrated Though it seems obvious, I cannot emphasize this enough: stay hydrated. The risk of dehydration increases as you move and sweat throughout the day, which can lead to serious issues like dizziness, fatigue and reduced cognitive functioning if you're not drinking enough water. Engaging in activities during your camping trip, such as hiking, swimming, biking or even playing outdoor games, can be physically demanding, making it even more important to stay hydrated. The general rule of thumb is to bring two gallons of water per person for each day of camping. This estimate includes the water you'll need for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Before you head out on your trip, check if the campground has a potable water system where you can refill. If you're hiking and camping in the backcountry, locate your water sources along the way, such as lakes, rivers and streams. Water is remarkably heavy -- bring a filtered water bottle or Lifestraw so you can refill and stay hydrated on the go without having to carry excess water weight. I highly recommend the Grayl GeoPress Purifier Water Bottle, which filters quickly and efficiently. If you have the capacity, pack more water and ice than you think you'll need -- especially at higher elevations, where dehydration can occur quickly. If you plan to consume alcohol, be sure to drink plenty of water to help offset its diuretic effects. Additionally, keep in mind that alcohol can affect your sleep quality. 'Even moderate alcohol intake exacerbates the likelihood of waking from sleep,' explains Gradisar.

Electrolyte packets can help you stay hydrated by replenishing the essential minerals you need to function properly. My personal favorite and one of CNET's best electrolyte powders of 2025 is LMNT. 9. Rinse off before bed If your campsite offers showers, rinse off before bed. Showering can help lower your core body temperature, which signals to your brain that it's time for sleep. If there are no showers, consider dipping in a natural body of water nearby, wiping down with potable water or using wet wipes or cooling towels. 10. Protect yourself during the day To help stay cool while you sleep at night, focus on keeping your body comfortable throughout the day. Wear airy, breathable, moisture-wicking, light-colored clothing to protect your skin from the sun's intense rays. Wear a hat and sunglasses to shield your scalp, face and eyes. Finally, remember to apply sunscreen multiple times a day. The last thing you want is to add the discomfort of a sunburn on top of an already hot and stuffy tent situation. I've been bringing the Badger Daily Mineral Sunscreen on my recent camping trips, which is one of our top-rated sunscreens by CNET editors. Aly Lopez/CNET Other gear to bring camping this summer How you camp and what you bring is entirely up to you -- you can go super minimal or pack the car to the brim as if preparing for the apocalypse. Regardless of your setup, your trip will be significantly improved if everyone stays safe and comfortable with the right gear and equipment. Here are a few other camping products I use and recommend having on hand. Bear canister: If you live in bear country or are planning to enter bear territory, a bear canister is a must (unless your campsite provides bear boxes). For guidance on selecting the right one, check out this fun and informative article by Outdoor Life that evaluates the best bear canisters tested by actual grizzly bears. Bear canisters can also help prevent smaller animals, like chipmunks, pikas and marmots, from getting into your bag and accessing your food. Handheld GPS and/or satellite communicator: If you're heading into the backcountry, consider investing in a handheld GPS or satellite communicator. These devices offer accurate navigation in remote areas and can help you safely trek through unfamiliar terrain. In an emergency, a satellite communicator allows you to send distress signals and communicate with rescue services. These tools provide an added layer of security and peace of mind during your adventure, enabling you to stay connected while exploring and enjoying the remote beauty of the wilderness. If you have an iPhone 14 or later, you can also use Emergency SOS via satellite to contact emergency services in remote areas without cell service. I had to use this feature recently on a hike and was impressed by how well it worked. Portable power bank: It's fun to go off-grid and disconnect from the 'real world' while camping, but being vigilant and aware of your surroundings is important. I've found myself in multiple situations where it would have been highly beneficial -- and even potentially life-saving -- if my phone battery hadn't been dead. While I still put my phone on airplane mode to focus on living in the moment during camping and backpacking trips, I now also make a point to keep at least one person in the group's phone charged in case of emergencies. Read more: Best Power Banks for iPhones in 2025 Insect repellent: Avoid setting up camp near stagnant water, as it increases humidity and attracts unwanted insects such as mosquitoes. There's nothing worse than being too hot and getting eaten alive by bugs. I like the EPA-registered Natrapel Insect Repellent for keeping mosquitoes, ticks and other insects away.

Medscape 2050: Robert Wachter
Medscape 2050: The Future of Medicine Have you tried an AI tool yet? Robert Wachter, MD, professor and chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, wants to know. In fact, Wachter will tell you that 'in order to be a responsible physician or probably any professional, you should be trying them today.' Why is this so urgent? Because physicians – perhaps more than most other professionals – need support. Did you know that 1 out of 5 medical records is longer than Moby Dick? (That's not an estimate; it's been studied.) How can a doctor comb through over 600 pages of notes in the five minutes before a patient visit and feel confident that they haven't missed anything? This is just one of many 'impossible' tasks, Wachter says, that doctors face in today's healthcare system. The 'Holy Grail' of AI, for Wachter, will be when these tools can reliably provide 'clinical decision support.' He envisions a system where AI is seamlessly integrated into the EHR, analyzing literature, evidence, and recommendations, and delivering that information in a form that is 'useful and actionable.' Are you worrying that AI is coming for your job? Don't. These fears are overstated, Wachter says, mentioning Geoffrey Hinton's famous suggestion in 2016 that we 'should stop training radiologists now.' And yet, almost a decade later, radiology is still a crucial specialty. Even as we look toward a 'transformative moment' when medical AI will make clinicians' lives a lot easier, we shouldn't count ourselves out. 'If you'd asked me 15 years ago, which comes first: the radiologists are out of business, or I sit in the backseat of a driverless car and fall asleep on my way home,' says Wachter, who is a fan of Waymo, 'I would've said the radiologists are toast.' And he would have been wrong.
