Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Alert | Reno News

A multi-state Cyclosporiasis outbreak is on the rise, affecting 34 states, with symptoms like watery diarrhea and stomach cramps appearing 2–14 days after exposure. While not contagious person-to-person, the parasite clings to produce—especially lettuce from Taylor Farms, linked to Taco Bell—and has prompted recalls. Health officials urge washing all fruits and veggies thoroughly, even pre-packaged ones. Northern Nevada reports no local cases, but doctors are urged to remain vigilant and test for Cyclospora in patients with prolonged GI issues. High-risk groups include kids, seniors, and immunocompromised individuals—simple food safety steps can help prevent infection.
