Cyclospora Outbreak Alert in Arizona | Tucson News

Cyclospora outbreak alert: 19 cases in Arizona, including 5 in Pima County, as 34 states report similar infections. This parasite causes severe diarrhea, cramping, and gas—symptoms appearing 2 to 2 weeks after exposure. Raw produce, especially lettuce and salad greens, is the suspected source. While Arizona’s numbers are low compared to hotspots like Michigan, CDC urges everyone to wash all fruits and veggies under running water—even pre-washed—and scrub firm items with a clean brush. Don’t eat bruised spots. Stay vigilant: clean hands, clean produce. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
