Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Northwest Ohio | Toledo News

Over 530 cases of cyclosporiasis have hit Lucas County, with northwest Ohio seeing more than 900 total — making it the region’s biggest outbreak yet. Health officials are still hunting the source, but past outbreaks often trace back to fresh produce like bagged salads, cilantro, or raspberries. The parasite causes watery diarrhea, cramps, and fatigue, with symptoms appearing days to weeks after exposure. The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department has launched a live dashboard to track cases and urges everyone to wash produce, sanitize hands, and cook food to kill the parasite. If you’re sick, see a doctor — and food or healthcare workers must stay off the job until recovered. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
