Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Ohio Michigan | Toledo News

A fast-spreading intestinal outbreak of cyclosporiasis is hitting Ohio and Michigan, with over 500 cases treated by ProMedica alone and hundreds more confirmed across the region. Monroe County, Michigan, leads with 170+ cases, while Lucas County, Ohio, reports 250+ — both numbers far exceeding the illness’s usual rarity. Health officials suspect a single batch of contaminated produce, likely tainted by water, as the source, and are racing to trace it through interviews with hundreds of patients. Symptoms include debilitating diarrhea and fatigue, but antibiotics can cut recovery time dramatically. Experts urge everyone to wash all produce thoroughly — especially raspberries and cilantro — as the investigation continues to stop the outbreak from worsening.
