Cyclospora Outbreak: Safe Produce Tips | San Francisco News

A nationwide cyclospora outbreak linked to fresh produce is hitting over 1,500 people in Michigan and spreading across 30 states — causing watery diarrhea that lasts weeks but is usually treatable. Pinpointing the exact source can take months, often tracing back to contaminated irrigation water or the food chain. The CDC urges simple but vital hygiene: wash hands thoroughly (hand sanitizer won’t work), scrub produce under running water, separate herb leaves, peel when possible, and cook high-risk items like berries. Don’t panic — just practice smart food safety to enjoy healthy eating safely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
