Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Marion County | Indianapolis News

Marion County’s facing a growing cyclosporiasis outbreak—with 15 confirmed cases this year—as the parasite spreads across 20 states, hitting Michigan especially hard with nearly 1,000 cases. CDC tracking began in May, and while the local cases remain unlinked, experts warn fresh produce is the main suspect, tied to past outbreaks involving bagged salads, berries, and green onions. Healthy adults usually recover in 1-2 weeks, but vulnerable groups may struggle for up to six weeks—sometimes needing antibiotics. To stay safe, avoid raw produce until the source is found, especially if you’re pregnant or in a high-risk group. Always wash hands, scrub fruits and veggies, refrigerate cut produce within two hours, and sanitize any surfaces or tools that touch raw food.
