Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Mexico Trips | Leeds News

Mexico’s summer hotspots are turning into gut-wrenching travel warnings as UK health officials report a surge in cyclospora infections among returning tourists. This nasty parasite, spread through contaminated fresh produce like herbs and berries, can cause severe diarrhea, cramps, and weight loss — and it’s not contagious person-to-person. With 48 of 67 cases tied to Mexican destinations like Cancún and Riviera Maya, travelers are urged to stick to bottled water, avoid raw foods, and seek medical help immediately if symptoms strike. The UK Health Security Agency warns cases will climb as peak season hits — and U.S. travel links are also under investigation. Stay smart, stay safe, and don’t let a vacation turn into a stomach nightmare. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
