Cyclospora Outbreak Alert | Anchorage News

A major cyclospora outbreak is sweeping 34 states, linked to contaminated produce like lettuce and berries—especially bagged salads. Though the exact source remains unknown, health officials warn it’s “cyclospora season,” peaking May through August. Alaska has seen three local cases, unrelated to the outbreak—two tied to international travel, one to regional exposure. Experts urge everyone to thoroughly rinse all fresh produce, even “pre-washed” items, as washing remains the best defense against this stubborn parasite. Stay safe, wash your veggies, and keep your hands clean. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
