Cyclospora Outbreak Traced to Lettuce | Cincinnati News

A massive cyclospora outbreak is sweeping across the U.S., with over 4,000 cases in Ohio alone and infections reported in nearly every state since May. Because labs can’t easily detect cyclospora, outbreaks often reveal contamination only after people get sick — making it harder to trace the source.
