Cyclospora in Colorado: What You Need to Know | Denver News

Colorado’s seen about ninety cyclospora cases this year — sounds alarming, but officials say it’s right in line with seasonal trends. Unlike some states with spikes, Colorado’s cases are mostly linked to travelers from tropical regions, not local outbreaks. The parasite spreads through contaminated food or water, especially uncooked produce, and while it’s not easily person-to-person, symptoms like diarrhea and fatigue can be brutal. Most folks recover with rest and fluids — antibiotics help too. The CDC is still hunting for a common source across states, but for now, washing produce thoroughly is your best defense.
