Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Fresh Produce | Raleigh News

Cyclospora is spreading fast across the U.S., with over 5,000 suspected cases nationwide — and experts fear that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This sneaky parasite, resistant to chlorine and not animal-borne, thrives in contaminated irrigation water and is likely hiding in fresh produce. Symptoms range from nasty diarrhea and cramps to fatigue — or nothing at all. No deaths yet, but the outbreak reveals how overwhelmed public health labs are, slowing down the hunt for the real source. For now, wash your produce — it’s not perfect, but it’s your best bet to stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
