Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Lettuce | Spokane News

A nasty parasite called cyclospora is sickening thousands across the U.S., especially in the Midwest, with shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms—Taco Bell’s supplier—suspected as the culprit. Symptoms include brutal diarrhea, cramping, and fatigue that can linger for weeks. The parasite’s two-week incubation period and reliance on humans as its only host make it tough to track. Stay safe by washing hands and produce, cooking greens thoroughly, or choosing whole fruits and veggies. Don’t ditch healthy eating—local produce often carries fewer risks—and this outbreak could push for better research into these sneaky foodborne threats.
