Cyclospora vs Salmonella Outbreaks | Augusta Georgia News

This summer’s food supply is under siege—over 20,000 suspected cases of explosive cyclosporiasis and deadly salmonella outbreaks are making headlines. Two deaths in Michigan tied to cyclospora, plus recalls on eggs and jalapeños at fast-casual chains, show how far-reaching these threats are. While both cause cramps, nausea, and diarrhea, they’re different beasts: salmonella spreads person-to-person and can bring bloody stools, while cyclospora usually comes from produce and doesn’t pass between people. Symptoms appear faster with salmonella, slower with cyclospora. If you’re sick more than a couple days—or have fever or dehydration—see a doctor. Stay hydrated, wash your hands, and handle food safely to stay ahead of these invisible enemies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
