Cyclosporiasis Outbreak in North Carolina | Fayetteville News

North Carolina’s cyclosporiasis outbreak is surging with 929 cases — up 23 in just one week — mostly clustered in Wake County, while nationwide cases have spiked to over 13,000 since May. Investigators point to parsley and cilantro as possible culprits locally, though iceberg lettuce links Midwest cases; two NC cases tie into a broader Taco Bell probe, but that’s a small fraction of the surge. Though no single source has been confirmed, the slowing infection rate suggests exposure may be waning. Meanwhile, local farmers are seeing renewed consumer trust and sales as shoppers seek out trusted, locally grown produce.
