As of March 20th, two Missouri residents have tested positive for mpox after travelling internationally. These are the first two reported cases of Clade I mpox in the state and just the 13th and 14th cases in the U.S. The two cases were unrelated to each other. Clade I mpox is more severe than Clade II mpox. Clade II caused the ongoing global outbreak which began in 2022. Anyone can get mpox but, the risk is low. However, some groups are considered at moderate risk. It is recommended that people at moderate risk get vaccinated for mpox. For more information visit cdc.gov/monkeypox/vaccines.

The number of adults under 50 diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) has almost doubled every decade for 20 years. Researchers are trying to understand why. Gut bacteria could be to blame. A 2025 study found that a toxin produced by E. Coli bacteria in the gut is connected to earlier CRC cases. The toxin causes DNA mutations (damage), usually in childhood (before age 10), that can increase the risk of colorectal cancer in adulthood. Another theory, links gut bacteria that produce hydrogen-sulfide gas, which creates a “rotten-egg” smell, to CRC. These changes to gut bacteria (the gut microbiome) are not fully understood and likely have many causes including diets high in fat, sugar, or meat, and exposure to certain strains of E. Coli bacteria.

Six homes in Florissant, MO on Cades Cove Dr are in the process of being torn down by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reach contaminated soil underneath them. The soil is contaminated with radioactive material that was used to build nuclear bombs for World War II. The homeowners were compensated for being relocated, although the amount they received is not publicly available. After the homes are torn down, soil will be excavated from each site over the course of one year. The homes are near Coldwater Creek, which is known to be contaminated with radioactive material. This is the first time nationally people have been forced to relocate for remediation.
