If you or someone you know begins to feel unwell and is experiencing these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention at a health facility.

The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition is reminding food vendors and patrons of the importance of food safety practices during the Carnival season to prevent food-borne illnesses such as gastroenteritis. The public is asked to remain vigilant and prioritize food safety and hygiene as they purchase foods and beverages at the Carnival events or activities. The Ministry of Health encourages patrons to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves. Environmental Health Officer, Sherma Toussaint spoke on the guidelines to be followed by food vendors, food handlers and patrons during the Carnival season.

The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition is encouraging people who will be participating in Carnival events and activities to practice responsible sexual health by always carrying protection, that is condoms in the event a person finds themselves in unexpected situations; avoid risky behaviors such as casual and unprotected sex especially when judgement is impaired by alcohol or other substances; and visit a healthy facility or doctor to get screened and tested for an STI or HIV.

As we prepare for Carnival season, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs note the importance of highlighting measures to reduce the possible negative health implications. People can stay healthy by doing the following: getting adequate sleep, staying hydrated, protecting themselves from the sun and mosquitoes, practicing safe sex and avoiding dark isolated places when attending events, etc. 

While most of the country makes New Year's resolutions that kick in right after January 1st, in Louisiana, there tends to be a slight postponement. That's because Carnival Season, a time of indulgence, kicks off on January 6th with the astounding king cake eating and cocktail drinking that comes with it. So, our resolutions about healthy living and sobriety tend to wait until Ash Wednesday – the day after Mardi Gras. This week, we hear from experts about the merits of clean living. Since she first opened her practice, Dr. Erika Siegel has extolled the virtues of eating the right foods as the foundation of good health. Across a decade and a half, the naturopathic physician collected all of her sage advice and put it into a book, "The Nourish Me Kitchen." The first half of the two-volume set offers easily digestible recommendations from stocking a healthy pantry to getting a good night's sleep. The second half features more than 300 recipes for creating healthy and delicious meals. Dr. Siegel joins us in the studio to discuss her book and share some practical advice on achieving and maintaining optimal health. Then, two of the Big Easy's native sons, Chris Copeland and Dan Forman tell us about how their NOLA Detox and Recovery Center incorporates New Orleans-style hospitality and food to help clients overcome addiction.

It's officially carnival season in New Orleans and around the world, so we wanted to take this time to look at variations on Mardi Gras celebrated across different cities. Two years ago, we brought you the International Carnival roundtable, where we learned about Masopust in the Czech Republic, Shrove Tuesday in Cape Verde, and Carnaval in Uruguay. Today, we're focusing on Carnival in three North American cities. We are joined by Marie-Eve Jacob, the general director of the Quebec Winter Carnival; Mack Bradley, the president of the Mardi Gras Foundation in St. Louis; and RoShelle Salinas, spokesperson for Mardi Gras Galveston. They take us from the beaches to the snow to help us explore Carnival history and traditions in their regions. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber.

Episode 12It's Carnival Season, everyone! In February, all three hosts participated in carnival celebrations from different islands. Therefore, we found it appropriate to engage in a discussion with one of Saint Lucia's Cultural Icons, Dr. Adrian Augier, regarding the evolution of carnival from its traditional roots towards a more commercialized direction. We explore how both aspects coexist, each depending on the other for survival, while striving to maintain the authentic essence of what carnival signifies to us.This week, Under The Mango Tree returns, transporting you to Martinique carnival, where you can immerse yourself in the chants of "Libérez le siwo" (Liberate the Siwo) and the rhythmic drumbeats that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and spiritual connection to our ancestors.If you have any feedback, comments, or for sponsorship opportunities, be sure to get in touch with us via email on relateablepodcast@gmail.com or via Instagram on @the_relatable_podcast_ Remember the Les Bohemes early bird special ends on March 31st so please book early to save some cash!

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on how New Orleans is celebrating Mardi Gras

It's an annual celebration of ruckus and revelry: carnival season has kicked off in France, bringing an explosion of colour to the grey months of winter. From the Latin "carne vale" meaning "farewell to meat", the ancient festival has evolved into a collective moment of excess ahead of the Christian period of Lent. From overseas in Guadeloupe, to down south in Nice, and even up north, France is letting loose. The France in Focus team reports. For this edition, we visit Dunkirk, a northern French city that for many brings to mind World War II, but it's also the host of one of the country's biggest and liveliest carnivals, with events lasting for three months. Our team joined revellers in Brouckerque, just southwest of the city. We also met with local historian Olivier Vermersch.Finally, no talk of carnival season in France would be complete without mentioning Nice and its famous float parade. The celebration on the French Riviera is the biggest in the country and just marked its 150th anniversary last year. Our team joined the preparations for this year's parade. 

It's Mardi Gras Baby!! Gosh this escalated quickly! No where in the country will you find the cultural electricity that New Orleans has oozing from her streets that rises up to each ironclad balcony! The Live Oaks all slip into a little something a little more flashy-  bedazzled and sparkling like  fancy ladies decked out for a Broadway show. Experiencing what Mardi Gras is like during Deep Gras is something to behold at least once in your life! For real, y'all.And this show is dedicated to all of the locals that dive into this festive pool every Carnival Season.  I knew our Mardi Gras Show had to be lit. How does one find the perfect Mardi Gras guests? Well this episode will letcha' know, baby!First, we welcome back to the show, My Pal, Mrs. Ti Martin, Co-Owner of LEGENDARY Commander's Palace. She makes me laugh so hard! Gosh I love her!

We were lucky to get a virtual tour and you can find it on our Instagram page @nolapapa. The fresh vibes mixed with classic looks definitely elevates it's adorably chic cafe! Find Le Petit Bleu at 1427 Washington Ave. (504) 2070-1343.Then later we welcome the WINNER of last year's Greasing of the Poles at the Royal Sonesta! Each year, a celebratory contest is held on Bourbon Street to help ring in the wild season! WGNO Meteorologist, Brooke Laizer, WINNER of last year's contest joins me to talk about ALL THINGS GREASERS! What was her angle to take home the 4th WIN by WGNO? She breaks it all down!

If you think of Romeo and Juliet when you think of Verona you'd be right: Juliet's balcony is right in the city center. Or maybe Verona conjures up all the amazing Veneto wines produced in the area: it's another of Verona's incredible features. BUT: right now it's CARNIVAL SEASON and you may not know it but Verona is perhaps the oldest Carnival Celebration in all of Italy, if not the world! It gets started early in the third week of January with the selection of the new "Papà del Gnocco" and continues on until the Friday  before Lent. The highlight is the great parade, with floats and dancers from all over the world who wind their way through the city center....and lots of gnocchi! But why are gnocchi intricately tied into Verona's Carnival Celebration? There's an important historical reason that dates back to 1531; have a listen to find out why!

Tommy talks with WWL Louisiana investigative reporter Mike Perlstein

Y'all I am just beside myself! We are embarking on our 4th season of this experiment- this love letter to New Orleans, that keeps being written. I set out looking for people, artists and creators that inspire not only me, be so many others every single day. Anyone that knows anything about New Orleans knows that right now is a unique and special time of the year where the locals and tourists alike revel in the streets for Mardi Gras! Starting January 6 each year on King's Day and party all the way up to Fat Tuesday on Mardi Gras day! One of my personal favorite parades to go to is a "Super Krewe" and rolls on Lundi Gras, the Monday night before Fat Tuesday! Founded 31 years ago by giant celebrity Harry Connick Jr, he wanted to create a Mardi Gras krewe that was made up of artists of all types. He wanted to make sure that his krewe would accept people of all creeds. Over the 3 decades that Orpheus has rolled, each year it has gotten a little bigger and prettier with all of the beautiful floats that make it one of the most sought after experiences of the whole Carnival Season! Renee Maxwell, Orpheus' entertainment director sat down with me recently to dish out some of the new details for the krewe this year! For example , Neil Patrick Harris and his HUSBAND David Burtka are the celebrity monarchs this year.  Yall, did you hear what I just said? A GAY COUPLE will grace the celebrity monarch float just like ANY OTHER over the years! This is the most inclusive work I have ever seen during recent years for Mardi Gras!Find out more details like Taylor Dayne performing at their Ball after the parade! Join us Lundi Gras- Feb 12 for the thirty first year of the Krewe of Orpheus! Find out everything at www.kreweoforpheus.comAnd then we welcome one of the Iconic beings in the Universe that is about to take to the streets TOMORROW NIGHT in the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacca!The Pink Wookie is synonymous with this walking krewe of space and fantasy revelry. Gary Griggs, the human being inside of the pink wookie sat down with me to talk about just HOW he was able to create such a memorable and vibrant character! The Krewe of Chewbacca may not be a "super krewe" but they are definitely a GIANT walking krewe with thousands of the most creative people in New Orleans! Join us tomorrow night! Saturday, Jan. 20 at 6:00 in the Marginy! Thank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

We also explore the political turmoil surrounding New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the recall petition launched against her.
