Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Lettuce | Providence News

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is surging, possibly the largest on record, with federal health officials racing to pinpoint its origin. While the FDA points to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico as the source — despite no positive parasite tests on actual samples — experts caution the mystery isn’t fully solved, hinting at environmental contamination in the fields or irrigation. Taylor Farms recalled affected products and halted production after a false positive, but the FDA remains firm. Symptoms include severe stomach issues, nausea, and fatigue, appearing days to weeks after infection — and cases may be vastly underreported. Stay vigilant: avoid recalled lettuce and watch for signs of illness. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
