Cyclospora Outbreak Claims First U.S. Lives | Toronto News

Two deaths linked to a deadly Cyclospora outbreak have been confirmed in Michigan — the first fatalities in U.S. history from this parasite, which typically causes severe diarrhea and is rarely fatal. Both victims had underlying health conditions worsened by the infection. The CDC points to contaminated Mexican-grown lettuce, especially at Taco Bell locations, as the likely source, tied to over 1,900 hospitalizations nationwide. Officials are still investigating other potential spread routes as they race to contain the summer-season outbreak.
