Make it or buy it? When it comes to food, the answer depends on so many variables, such as: How much time are you willing to spend? How much money? Will the homemade version be better than what you can buy? Or will you get enough satisfaction from the DIY process that none of the previous questions matter?

Mosquitoes with West Nile virus were found in the Twin Cities metro — here's what you need to know

What you need to know about West Nile virus What you need to know about West Nile virus What you need to know about West Nile virus On Thursday, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District said they found mosquitoes in Anoka and Carver counties with West Nile virus. "The mosquito-borne disease risk tends to elevate as we get late into the summer," said Alex Carlson of the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District. That's why infectious disease experts say precautions are important. "West Nile virus has been circulating in Minnesota for over 20 years," said Dr. Beth Thielen, an infectious disease expert with M Health Fairview and the University of Minnesota Medical School. "The most common presentation that comes to the hospital is some kind of neurological symptoms." For those who might worry, Thielen says if you get West Nile virus, it's definitely not a death sentence. "Most of the disease is actually not clinically apparent," Thielen said. She says that bug repellants with DEET and picaridin are proven to help you if you're out and about. "We see most mosquitoes are active in that dusk time period. Folks can limit their outdoor exposure time around that time," Thielen said. But if a bite pops up, just monitor for things like fever and rash, Thielen added. "I don't usually wear bug spray," Minneapolis resident Lilly Perkins said. "I don't get bumps because they don't bother me, but I guess I should start."

Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day. Switching to a four-day workweek can be good for the bottom line — and it isn't only workers who reap the benefits, according to the results of a new trial in the UK. Some organizations recorded an increase in revenue and fewer sick days compared with the same year-ago period. Mass evacuations are underway after an out-of-control wildfire in Crete — Greece's largest island and a popular tourist spot — broke out following high temperatures and strong winds. More than 200 firefighters, along with 46 vehicles and 10 helicopters, have been deployed to fight the blaze, according to officials. The US job market continues to strengthen despite heightened uncertainty following President Donald Trump's tariff policies. 147,000 jobs were added in June, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. But this job growth is only within a few industries. Regular exercise has long been known to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease — and a new study suggests working out could help people fighting cancer.

The Blueberry Recall Just Got More Serious—Here's What To Know

When the Fourth of July rolls around, there's nothing we love more than concocting the perfect, summery sweet treat. However, before you turn to the fruit aisle to grab fresh, seasonal strawberries and blueberries to bring to life that festive American flag cake that's every Pinterest lover's dream or that refreshing fruit salad, think twice. The FDA has issued a recall of hundreds of boxes of blueberries. Here, everything we know and what you ought to know ahead of the holiday weekend. Back in early June, a recall was issued by Georgia-based company Alma Pak International LLC for hundreds of boxes of organic blueberries. As stated by the initial report, the recall came to be when, during routine testing, the product tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. In total, 400 30-pound boxes were part of this recall, identifiable by Lot numbers 13325 G1060 and 13325 G1096. The voluntary recall stated that these products were shipped to one customer in North Carolina. Though it was on June 9 that this recall was first issued, on July 1, the FDA elevated this situation to a Class I threat. As stated by their website, a Class I recall is 'a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' While there have yet to be any reports of people falling ill after consuming this particular recalled product, vigilance is key when it comes to food safety. Over the last year, listeria is the word that's been circulating when it comes to recalls, and the symptoms can range from mild to severe. According to the FDA's website, the less severe version of the illness is non-invasive and usually will result in side effects like nausea, vomiting, fever, aches and diarrhea. On the contrary, the invasive version can be fatal. 'Symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions,' says the FDA website. 'Invasive listeriosis is a potentially life-threatening event, especially for newborns, adults over the age of 65, and those with weakened immune systems.' If you think you might have consumed contaminated food, it's best to see your healthcare provider and monitor symptoms. If you start to feel any of the symptoms listed above, seek medical guidance. In a statement to Newsweek, the company revealed that the recall was issued before blueberries even hit shelves, meaning no customers consumed these contaminated products, and therefore, no one was at risk. They continued, 'The company worked in close coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and an independent food safety consultant to conduct a thorough investigation. Alma Pak International has implemented additional corrective actions and preventive controls to further strengthen its already rigorous food safety systems.' Looking for more trending stories?
