Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Half the Country | San Francisco News

Over 800 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis — a brutal stomach bug causing weeks of explosive diarrhea — are spreading across half the U.S., with another 1,500 under investigation. The culprit? Likely contaminated fresh produce like raspberries, cilantro, and lettuce, tainted by fecal-contaminated water. Michigan officials are zeroing in on salad greens. Good news: frozen and cooked produce are safe. Treatable with antibiotics, but if symptoms linger, see a doctor. Stay safe by washing hands and scrubbing produce — even pre-washed — and consider a vinegar rinse for extra protection.
