Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Midwest | Montpelier News

A nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak is hitting over 1,600 people, causing severe diarrhea, cramps, and weight loss—with kids and immunocompromised folks at highest risk. Symptoms can appear weeks after exposure, making it hard to trace the source. While CDC investigators dig through data, early clues point to contaminated lettuce or bagged salads, likely from large commercial farms. Vermont’s seeing just a few cases—far below its usual summer tally—while Michigan reports a shocking surge still under verification. Health officials urge everyone to wash veggies thoroughly, peel outer lettuce leaves, and cook when possible. Your backyard greens or farmers’ market haul? Probably safer.
