Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Finally Ends | Dayton News

The nation’s largest cyclosporiasis outbreak is officially over, with 12,800+ cases across 21 states tied to contaminated Taylor Farms lettuce from Mexico—though no longer on shelves. Over 500 hospitalized, two deaths in Michigan (both with preexisting conditions). Symptoms can take up to two weeks to appear, making containment tough. While the CDC confirms no ongoing risk from this source, investigations continue into smaller outbreaks and how contamination occurred. The FDA is urging food companies to tighten safety protocols, as this parasite remains a persistent challenge—especially with perishable foods like lettuce vanishing before evidence surfaces.
