Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Lettuce | Phoenix News

A deadly Cyclospora parasite outbreak tied to recalled iceberg lettuce has sickened people across 20 states, including two deaths in Michigan — both among those with preexisting health issues. The FDA is investigating a major central Mexico farm, operated by Taylor Farms, as the likely source. This microscopic parasite causes severe diarrhea, cramps, and weight loss, often appearing in warmer months and spreading via contaminated feces. Symptoms can take days to weeks to show up, and without treatment, illness can linger for weeks. Thankfully, the FDA says all recalled lettuce from this outbreak is off the shelves — but vigilance remains key. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
