Caused by a microscopic parasite, the illness brings debilitating diarrhea and cramps that can last weeks. While officials say recalled lettuce is mostly off shelves, the investigation continues as scientists scramble to understand how this spread so far—a stark reminder that food safety remains a critical public health challenge.
