Cyclospora Outbreak Across 31 States | Oakland News

Cyclospora is spreading fast across 31 states, with 843 confirmed cases and over 1,500 more under review—likely underreported. This parasite causes severe watery diarrhea and spreads via contaminated food/water, not person-to-person. Michigan is hit hardest with 1,500+ cases and 44 hospitalizations. Most cases linked to U.S.-based food, not travel. No deaths yet, but 86 hospitalized. Past outbreaks tied to bagged salads, cilantro, raspberries, and more. Stay safe: rinse produce thoroughly, opt for frozen options, and cook food to eliminate risk. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
