Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Across States | Topeka News

Kansas health officials are tracking about two dozen cases of cyclosporiasis, a nasty parasitic bug causing severe, watery diarrhea and other debilitating symptoms — and it’s not just a local issue, with over 140 cases nationwide since May.

The CDC urges everyone to wash produce thoroughly and seek medical help if stomach issues persist — because the right antibiotics can clear it up fast.
