Cyclosporiasis Alert: Outbreak Ripples to Nevada | Reno News

Washoe County’s first case of cyclosporiasis is a wake-up call: a senior traveler from the Midwest, amid a massive outbreak, may have brought this nasty parasite home. Caused by a microscopic parasite that wreaks havoc on your gut—diarrhea, cramps, nausea, bloating—it’s often spread through contaminated produce or bad water. With over 5,000 cases and 100+ hospitalizations in Michigan alone, and nearly 100 domestic cases in Texas, this isn’t just a regional problem. Northern Nevada Public Health is on high alert, ready to respond if more cases emerge. The message? Stay vigilant—outbreaks can travel fast, and prevention starts with awareness and smart food safety habits. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
