Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Iceberg Lettuce | Orlando News

A massive Cyclospora outbreak has sickened over 25,000 people across 47 states—with two deaths in Michigan—and federal investigators are now pointing to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico as the likely culprit. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and cramping, and while the CDC is tracking five separate outbreaks, this one is by far the largest. Complicating matters: symptoms can take up to two weeks to appear, labs struggle to detect the parasite, and public health departments are understaffed. The recalled lettuce is off shelves, but this serves as a stark reminder that even everyday foods can harbor hidden dangers.
