Over 1,000 people now host a diarrhea-causing parasite called cyclospora. The source remains unidentified. No deaths reported. The parasite spreads faster than your understanding of options Greeks.
Cyclospora infections double down on positions without stop losses. They enter the body through contaminated food or water. They multiply. They cause explosive diarrhea for weeks. Still more disciplined than the average Robinhood user panic-selling at open.
Health officials can't find where this thing came from. A thousand cases and counting. Zero leads. The parasite executes better market entry than every retail trader who bought META at $380 because their cousin's roommate said the metaverse was "definitely happening."
The cyclospora parasite requires no identification process. No KYC. No two-factor authentication. It just shows up in your intestines and starts running the show. Doesn't ask permission. Doesn't read the prospectus. Doesn't check if you're an accredited investor. Gets to work immediately.
Public health departments across multiple states now coordinate their response. They compare notes. They analyze patterns. They work together toward a common goal. More collaboration than you'll ever see from the five different Discord channels where you ask strangers whether to hold your 0DTE SPY calls.
A thousand infected people share one thing in common besides violent intestinal distress. They all consumed something. They all trusted the supply chain. They all assumed their food was clean. The same faith you had in that stock tip from a Twitter account with 147 followers and an anime profile picture.
The parasite's growth curve looks parabolic. Epidemiologists call this concerning. Technical analysts would call it bullish momentum. The difference is one group tries to stop the outbreak and the other would try to buy weekly calls on it.
