TikTok speedrunning natural selection via intentional parasitic infection

Someone discovered that deliberately infecting yourself with cyclospora—a literal parasitic intestinal disease—qualifies as "wellness content" if you frame it right. The meme format of exaggerated salad consumption paired with genuine horror from medical professionals creates a perfect storm of cringe: influencers are genuinely promoting a disease that causes severe diarrhea as a shortcut to weight loss, and the internet is treating it as just another Tuesday. This is what happens when the line between satire and actual human behavior becomes indistinguishable.
