Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Indiana | Indianapolis News

Indiana’s facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with 684 confirmed cases as of July 23, affecting people from age 8 to 98—with women hit slightly harder. Caused by a microscopic parasite, it triggers relentless diarrhea and stomach distress, often tied to contaminated produce like bagged salads, cilantro, raspberries, and green onions. Hotspots include Allen (over 100 cases) and Marion counties, with others like Elkhart and Steuben also reporting spikes. While most recover on their own, severe cases need antibiotics and hydration. Health officials are still hunting the source, but prevention is key: wash produce thoroughly, avoid pre-packaged greens, cook veggies when possible, and always wash hands before food prep.
