Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Across States | Virginia Beach News

A nationwide Cyclosporiasis outbreak is sending shockwaves across the country, with cases surging from coast to coast—Virginia reports 11–30 cases, North Carolina even more at 31–80. Caused by a parasite in fresh produce, it triggers severe watery diarrhea and stomach cramps lasting weeks, risking dehydration and kidney damage. Experts warn contaminated food and water are the culprits, urging thorough washing of produce—even with a brush—but stress it’s not foolproof. If you’re sick, don’t self-medicate—see a doctor, as stopping diarrhea too fast can trap toxins and worsen symptoms.
