Measles case confirmed in Passaic County, New Jersey, health officials say
A case of measles has been confirmed in Passaic County, New Jersey, health officials announced Saturday. According to the state Department of Health, the patient recently traveled internationally, and this case is not related to measles cases in Hudson and Ocean counties that were reported in July. Health officials say the patient visited the Chilton Medical Center in Pompton Plains while contagious. Anyone who was in the emergency department between 7 p.m. on July 31 and 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 1 or the main hospital's fifth floor Intensive Care Unit between 1:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 1 may have been exposed to measles. Anyone who was exposed at those times could develop symptoms as late as Aug. 24, if infected. This is the sixth case of measles in New Jersey so far this year. Measles is spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes and can remain in the air for up to two hours. It can also be spread through an infected person's mucus or saliva. According to health officials, measles symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes, and a rash that appears as flat red spots on the face and all over the body. Anyone who suspects they have or were exposed to measles should call their local health department or health care provider to make special arrangements for evaluation. Potential patients are urged to call ahead before arriving at a medical office or emergency department due to the risk of infecting other visitors and medical staff. Those who have not received both doses of the MMR vaccine or had measles in the past are most at risk of becoming infected. All New Jersey residents are encouraged to stay up to date on vaccinations, and anyone travelling internationally should be fully vaccinated before leaving the country, the health department says. Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in July shows 2025 is the worst year for measles in the United States since 1992. There have been 14 measles cases in New York so far this year, according to the latest state health department data. That includes seven cases in New York City, four cases in Orange County, one in Putnam County, one in Suffolk County and one in Ontario County. There have not been any cases of measles in Connecticut so far this year.

Check Your Kitchen—Experts Say These 10 Foods Contain The Most Microplastics
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Microplastics are found in many everyday foods like rice, tea, bottled water, and seafood. Early research suggests microplastics may contribute to health issues like oxidative stress, organ dysfunction, and metabolic or immune disruptions, though more studies are needed. Experts recommend reducing exposure by choosing loose-leaf tea, rinsing rice, avoiding plastic bottles, and opting for minimally processed or non-plastic-packaged foods. Almost everything we eat these days is transported or stored in plastic, and we've all zapped leftovers in the microwave in plastic containers. But you may not have realized that microplastics actually can be found inside the foods we eat. It's actually not a new topic. "Research into the effects of microplastic consumption has been ongoing for several decades," says Stephani Johnson, D.C.N., R.D.N., adjunct professor, Department of Clinical and Preventive Nutrition Sciences at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. "However, there is still much to learn regarding the average levels of human exposure, how long microplastics remain in the body, and their associated health consequences. What is currently known is that microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment, making complete avoidance virtually impossible." Studies have found microplastics throughout the human body, including in the brain, heart, colon, placenta, and more. "We are what we eat, and we are eating and being exposed to plastics in our food," Nicholas Mallos, vice president of conservation, ocean plastics, at the Ocean Conservancy, and co-author of a recent study on microplastics in commonly-consumed proteins. "While we need more research to know what exposure levels of plastics are causing human health problems, we should be concerned." What Are The Health Consequences Of Consuming Microplastics? Emerging evidence suggests that potential harm may depend on several factors, including the amount consumed, as well as the type, size, and shape of the microplastic particles. "At the cellular level, studies have shown that microplastics can contribute to oxidative stress, DNA damage, organ dysfunction, and disruptions in metabolic, reproductive, and immune functions, as well as neurodevelopmental toxicity," Johnson says. Unfortunately, there is still much we don't know about microplastics in food. "Our study demonstrates the need for further research to better understand microplastics in the most commonly consumed foods, including precisely where these microplastics are coming from and the potential human health risks," Mallos says. Ahead, the foods that research has found to contain a measurable amount of microplastics: Tea Many commercial tea bags are made with polypropylene, a type of plastic used to seal the bags and maintain their shape. "When steeped in hot water, these bags can release microplastics into the tea. To avoid potential ingestion of microplastics, using loose leaf tea with a stainless steel or other non-plastic tea infuser is a safer and more sustainable alternative," Johnson says. Rice "Studies have shown that rice can contain relatively high levels of microplastics, likely due to contamination of soil and irrigation water," Johnson says. Rinsing rice thoroughly before cooking has been found to reduce its microplastic content by approximately 20–40%. Ultra-Processed Foods There's evidence that food processing is a likely source of microplastic contamination. Research has found that highly-processed protein products, such as chicken nuggets, tofu, and plant-based burgers, contain significantly more microplastics per gram than minimally processed products, such as wild Alaska pollock and raw chicken breast, Mallos says. Bottled Water When exposed to heat—such as being left in a hot car—or subjected to physical stress, like squeezing, plastic water bottles can release microplastics into the water. "Among various types, single-use plastic bottles tend to release the highest amounts of microplastics, followed by reusable plastic bottles," Johnson says. "In contrast, stainless steel and glass bottles do not degrade or leach microplastics, making them a safer and more sustainable choice for drinking water." Salt Believe it or not, even salt—a naturally occurring mineral—isn't safe from microplastics. Research has found that salt can contain large amounts of microplastics, reflecting the broader problem of environmental pollution. Himalayan pink salt contains the greatest amounts, followed by black salt and sea salt, Johnson says. Fruits & Vegetables "Due to widespread environmental contamination, fruits and vegetables can contain measurable amounts of microplastics," Johnson says. Some types of produce are more susceptible than others, like root vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, and beets), because they absorb microplastics from contaminated soil and rainwater through their root systems. But all types of plants can absorb microplastics through their roots. Honey Even honey may be contaminated by microplastics, which is also a concern due to widespread environmental contamination, Johnson says. Plant-Based Foods In the study co-authored by Mallos, microplastic particles were found in tofu, plant-based nuggets, plant-based fish sticks, and plant-based ground beef. Fresh Seafood Microplastics in the ocean accumulate in fish and shellfish, ultimately impacting humans, who consume seafood containing these particles, Johnson says. Bottom-feeding species, such as clams, mussels, oysters, catfish, halibut, flounder, and cod, tend to have higher concentrations of microplastics compared to other marine organisms. Processed Seafood Processed seafood fares no better. Research shows breaded shrimp, pollock fish sticks, and shrimp also contain microplastics, Mallos says.
