Boone County Cyclosporiasis Mystery | Jefferson City News

Boone County’s cyclosporiasis outbreak is still surging despite statewide spikes, with symptoms appearing up to two weeks after exposure—making it hard to trace. Officials suspect Boone may have been hit first, possibly by an early contaminated food batch, though no single source has been confirmed. A false FDA positive and initial misdirection toward Taylor Farms have complicated the investigation, now broadening to multiple suspects. Many cases likely go unreported, as people mistake symptoms for a stomach bug without getting tested. Until the source is found, experts urge thorough produce washing, careful kitchen hygiene, and proper cooking to stay safe.
