Cyclospora Outbreak in the Midwest | Denver News

A Cyclospora outbreak is spreading across the Midwest, causing severe stomach cramps, exhaustion, and frequent bathroom trips—far worse than regular food poisoning. While leafy greens and berries have been linked to past outbreaks, Colorado officials say local produce isn’t the source, though federal data is lagging. Most Colorado cases stem from international travel, not local food. Symptoms can last weeks, but antibiotics help vulnerable patients. Health officials urge everyone to keep up with basic food safety: wash produce thoroughly and always wash hands before and after handling food.
