Cyclosporiasis Outbreak and Food Safety | Indianapolis News

Cyclosporiasis is on the rise, causing nasty stomach woes like watery diarrhea, linked to fresh produce—berries, greens, and herbs are prime suspects. With cases spreading across 34 states, experts say a good rinse often suffices, though vinegar washes? Not proven better. Scrubbing thoroughly matters more than the solution. For herbs and greens, separate leaves and rub under water; peel when possible, scrub melons before cutting, or cook to 158°F to kill the bug. Immune-compromised folks should lean toward peelable or cooked produce. Risk is low, but food prep habits matter more than ever.
