Cases of this drug-resistant disease climb in SC. Here's the best defense

South Carolina has recorded more cases of shigellosis, a drug-resistant disease spread through contaminated food, water or sexual contact, than at this point last year. Health officials say the numbers have been dropping since a July peak and there is no cause for alarm. FULL STORY: Sexually transmitted, drug-resistant disease reported in SC. Latest case counts Here are key takeaways: The South Carolina Public Health Department reported 165 shigellosis cases so far this year, up from 135 during the same period in 2025. Most patients were adult men ages 18 to 49. “Currently, there are no outbreaks or reasons for the public to have increased concern,” a health department spokesperson said. Cases peaked in July and have declined since. Shigella spreads through contaminated food or water, close contact or sexual activity. The CDC says swallowing even a small amount of the germs, which are found in feces, can make someone sick. Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and fever, typically starting a day or two after exposure and lasting about a week. A person can remain infectious for up to two more weeks after symptoms end. Nationally, shigellosis causes an estimated 450,000 infections a year, with about 242,000 resistant to antibiotics

Is it legal to throw your pet's poop in neighbor's trash can? What SC law says

It’s trash day in your neighborhood, and you have your can sitting along the curb waiting for pickup. Then along comes a neighbor walking their dog and throws their pet’s bag of feces into your trash can. Putting aside the fact that the act is not very neighborly, is it against the law? South Carolina law says that a person cannot “dump, throw, drop, deposit, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter or other solid waste upon ... private property in the State for which he is not the legal owner or a person otherwise granted permission by the legal owner.” Horry County has separate solid-waste rules , and using someone else’s bin without permission could still prompt a complaint. The law also states that “garbage” that is placed in trash cans for pickup “shall not include human or animal feces.” There are other city ordinances with rules about picking up and disposing of your pet’s waste. Myrtle Beach and pet poop Myrtle Beach’s ordinance says that it is unlawful to "fail to promptly remove and properly dispose of all feces left by the animal on any public property or any private property not owned by the owner.” It goes as

The best nursing homes in SC for 2027, from US News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report released its 2027 Best Nursing Homes report on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and dozens of South Carolina facilities made the list. The group has served as an independent, data-driven guide for families navigating short-term rehabilitation or long-term care choices since 2009. “Choosing a nursing home — whether for short-term rehabilitation following a surgery or illness like stroke, or for long-term residency — is one of the most crucial healthcare decisions a family can make,” said Jordan Derk, Ph.D., senior care researcher at U.S. News. “The Best Nursing Homes ratings are designed to equip families with transparent quality metrics so they can make confident, informed care decisions alongside their healthcare providers.” There are more than 14,600 skilled nursing facilities evaluated across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and only 18% of evaluated nursing homes earned a “Best Nursing Home” designation for 2027. To determine the ratings, U.S. News analyzed data about staffing, patients’ health outcomes and results of government-conducted health and safety outcomes. The State has previously reported on the best nursing homes in SC using different metrics from KFF, a leading U.S. health policy tracker. In SC, there are 187 licensed nursing homes, and 31 received

After West Nile virus case reported, SC town to spray for mosquitoes: Where & when

A case of West Nile Virus was recently reported in Anderson County, prompting Anderson County Emergency Management to hire a company to spray for mosquitos. So far this year, South Carolina has had 30 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control. California has had the most cases at 452. Gregory Pest Solutions will be spraying for mosquitos in a one-mile radius of Barnes Station Road and Manning Road in Iva late Friday, Nov. 13, depending on the weather. “The water-based pesticide used during spraying does not pose a health risk to humans or animals, however, beekeepers with hives in the area should arrange to relocate or cover hives until spraying is complete,” the Emergency Management Agency said. Earlier this year, the South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed two outbreaks of West Nile virus. There were four cases in the Midlands and two in the Lowcountry. There were also two cases confirmed in Richland County in early August. A number of cities and counties have sprayed for mosquitoes this year including Myrtle Beach, Columbia, Charleston and Horry County. The Charleston program used aerial and truck-based spraying, along with catch basin treatments, after cases of West Nile virus were confirmed.
