Hiker dies, 4 rescued after heat-related emergency in Arizona's Gold Canyon
A hiker died Sunday in the Arizona desert, where temperatures had soared to unseasonable heights, according to emergency responders and local news reports.
The man died after hiking in Gold Canyon, at the base of Arizona's Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, CBS News affiliate AZ Family reported, citing the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. Fired crews said he suffered a seizure and cardiac arrest. He was 33 years old.
The sheriff's office told AZ Family that deputies received a call from five hikers. One of them, the man who later died, became unresponsive after six hours on the trail. Several others in the group were also suffering from heat-related issues and said they had run out of water, according to AZ Family. Weather reports show temperatures in the area peaked at around 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday.
By the time deputies arrived at the scene, the hiker who had fallen unconscious was confirmed dead, the news outlet reported. Life-saving measures were performed multiple times to try to revive him, but they were unsuccessful.
The Pinal County Medical Examiner will determine the hiker's cause of death, but foul play is not suspected, AZ Family reported. CBS News contacted the Pinal County Sheriff's Office for more information.
All other hikers in the group were rescued by emergency crews but refused transport to the hospital, according to the Superstition Fire and Medical District, which responded alongside Pinal County authorities during the incident.

"As temperatures climb, so does the risk. Heat illness can set in fast, even for experienced hikers," officials said in a Facebook post, noting that summertime temperatures in Arizona can reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. In those conditions, "heat exhaustion or heat stroke can occur in under an hour," they warned.

We Need to Talk About Erectile Dysfunction: 38% of Canadian Men Don't Know You Need a Prescription for ED Medication
– This Men's Health Week, Phoenix is addressing misconceptions around erectile dysfunction to raise awareness for treatment and break the social stigma – TORONTO, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For Men's Health Week (June 9 to 15), Phoenix, Canada's leading digital health clinic for men, is raising awareness to break the stigma around erectile dysfunction (ED), a medical condition that affects almost half (49.4%) of Canadian men aged 40 to 88. ED is a medical condition that prevents the ability to get and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse, with a range of potential causes that could each contribute to the condition, including age, medications, injury, and lifestyle. Despite its prevalence, Phoenix's survey of more than 1,500 Canadians found that there is a significant lack of awareness around ED and its treatment, likely contributing to stigma surrounding the condition. CANADIANS UNDERESTIMATE THE REACH OF ED Despite nearly half of Canadian men over 40 being affected, ED's prevalence is underestimated, driving undue stigma. In fact, almost half of Canadians (45%) think that ED affects less than 40 per cent of men 40+. Twenty-seven per cent of Canadians think it affects less than 30 per cent of men 40+. While Canadians underestimate the prevalence of ED in middle-aged and older men, many are also unaware that the condition can also impact younger men. The survey found that 64 per cent of Canadians don't know that men aged 35 and younger can experience ED. That percentage grows as you look at younger men, with 71% of Canadians unaware that men aged 18 to 25 can be affected. This common misconception can contribute to the stigma around experiencing ED as a younger man, making it more difficult for those struggling to seek care. "ED is a medical condition that men of all ages can experience. There shouldn't be anything awkward about it, but there is. We're trying to change that," says Kevin Bache, co-founder and co-CEO of Phoenix. "While it may feel uncomfortable, men need to understand what the condition entails, and not shy away from being proactive in discussing it with a doctor. The sooner you get started, the better your chances are at finding mental and physical relief." WIDESPREAD MISUNDERSTANDING OF ED MEDICATION Treatment for ED and its underlying cause can vary greatly depending on a patient's prognosis, however, medication is a common and effective treatment. Despite this fact, Phoenix's survey found 18 per cent of men are unsure if ED is treatable with medication, revealing a lack of awareness that may leave many suffering needlessly. The data also highlighted a concerning gap in awareness that ED medication requires a prescription. Thirty-eight per cent of men are unsure or don't think they need a prescription to purchase medication, such as Viagra, for ED. However, the lack of awareness is most significant among younger Canadians. About three in five Gen Z (59%) don't know that you need a prescription for ED medication: 32 per cent are unsure, and 27 per cent don't think you need a prescription at all. It is important that Canadians know that ED medication requires a prescription from a medical professional, as they may otherwise be vulnerable to purchasing unauthorized sexual enhancement products sold over the counter, which Health Canada warns could pose serious health risks. "It's no surprise that people aren't aware of the prevalence of ED – it just doesn't get talked about enough. But the good news is, there are treatment options, and with more openness and awareness, more people can seek support immediately," says Gavin Thompson, co-founder and co-CEO of Phoenix. "We built Phoenix to change that. Our mission is simple: make expert care easy to access – fast, discreet, and doctor-led. We're building a future where men take charge of their health with confidence." WHAT CANADIANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ED ED can affect men at any age, but it becomes more common as you get older. ED is more common than you may think, affecting almost half of Canadian men aged 40 to 88. Many factors can cause ED, including: low levels of testosterone, nervous dysfunction, blood flow complications, medications, medical conditions, lifestyle factors, obesity, diet, drug abuse, smoking, and emotional or psychological complications. ED is highly treatable, but the first step is consulting a medical professional. Treatment for erectile dysfunction and its underlying cause can vary greatly, making it important to consult a medical professional to receive a diagnosis and devise an effective treatment strategy. ED medication requires a prescription from a medical professional. Phoenix is currently available in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY These findings are from a survey conducted by Phoenix from May 20th to May 22nd, 2025, among a representative sample of 1509 online Canadians who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. The survey was conducted in English and French. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/-2.53 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Salmonella outbreak tied to recalled eggs makes dozens sick across 7 states in the West and Midwest
A salmonella outbreak linked to a large egg recall has made dozens of people sick in seven states in the West and Midwest, federal health officials said Saturday. The August Egg Company recalled about 1.7 million brown organic and brown cage-free egg varieties distributed to grocery stores between February and May because of the potential for salmonella, according to an announcement posted Friday on the Food and Drug Administration's website. At least 79 people in seven states have gotten a strain of salmonella that was linked to the eggs, and 21 people have been hospitalized, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The recall affects retailers in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington and Wyoming. The recalled eggs were sold under brand names including Clover, First Street, Nulaid, O Organics, Marketside, Raleys, Simple Truth, Sun Harvest, and Sunnyside. Plant code numbers for the recalled eggs are P-6562 or CA5330, according to the CDC's website. This Centers for Disease Control and Prevention map shows the locations of people affected by a Salmonella outbreak linked to eggs. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "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 company said in a statement on the FDA's website. "We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again." Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps. Most people who get sick recover within a week. Infections can be severe in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, who may require hospitalization. The CDC advises people to throw away recalled eggs or return them to the store where they were purchased. Consumers should also wash and disinfect any surfaces that came in contact with the eggs. This is the latest in a string of salmonella-related outbreaks recently involving food. A tomato recall affecting three southern states was upgraded to a Class I recall, the most severe warning by the Food and Drug Administration. The recall was first announced in May over potential salmonella contamination. Also, nearly four dozen people across 18 states have gotten sick with salmonella food poisoning tied to recalled cucumbers, according to federal health officials. In an update, the CDC said the expanding outbreak led to at least 16 people being hospitalized.

Salmonella outbreak: Recalled eggs sold at Walmart, Safeway, and elsewhere sicken people in 7 states
A significant recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs is underway. The eggs were believed to be the source of a salmonella outbreak that has sickened dozens of people across seven states and so far led to 21 people being hospitalized. They were distributed to several major retailers, including Walmart and Safeway. Here's what you need to know about the recall and outbreak. Shell eggs recalled due to salmonella fears On June 6, the August Egg Company of Hilmar, California, issued a voluntary recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs produced at its facilities. The company initiated the recall after it discovered that the eggs are feared to have been contaminated with salmonella, a potentially deadly bacterium. On the same day, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published August Egg Company's recall notice on its website, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced an investigation into a multistate outbreak of salmonella linked to eggs. Dozens sickened and hospitalized across 7 states The CDC's investigation has found that eggs produced by August Egg Company are linked to dozens of cases of people becoming ill after consuming them. The agency's latest data shows that there are so far 79 cases linked to the August Egg Company's recalled products. Of those cases, 21 have resulted in hospitalizations. Thankfully, no deaths have been reported so far. The cases are spread across seven states: Arizona, California, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, and Washington. Of those states, California has the most number of cases, at 63, followed by Washington and Nevada, with four cases each. Arizona has had three cases, Nebraska and New Jersey two cases, and Kentucky has one. However, many people who become sick with salmonella see their symptoms resolve without contacting a health professional, so the actual number of cases could be higher. When and where were the eggs distributed? According to the notice posted on the FDA's website, the recalled eggs were distributed between February and May. The retail locations that received the eggs include: Walmart Save Mart FoodMaxx Lucky Smart & Final Safeway Raleys Food 4 Less Ralphs The eggs were distributed between February 3 and May 15, 2025, to Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less, and Ralphs locations in California and Nevada. Those eggs had sell-by dates ranging from March 4 to June 4, 2025. The eggs were also distributed between February 3 through May 6, 2025, to Walmart stores in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois. Those eggs had sell-by dates ranging from March 4 to June 19, 2025. What eggs are included in the recall? Over two dozen egg products packaged under multiple brands are included in the recall. The recall notice states that the eggs were packaged in fiber or plastic cartons and have a plant code number P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126.

Salmonella is a potentially deadly bacterium that is usually contracted after eating contaminated foods. The CDC says that typical symptoms of a salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, which typically present between six hours and six days after exposure to the bacteria. Typical salmonella infections last between four and seven days, and most people recover without treatment. However, salmonella infections can also cause severe illness in individuals, especially those who are younger than five, older than 65, or have weakened immune systems. What should I do if I have the recalled eggs? According to the CDC, if you have the recalled eggs in your possession, you should not consume them. Instead, you should throw the eggs out or return them to their place of purchase for a refund. You should also sanitize all surfaces that may have come into contact with the eggs.
