Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Produce | Honolulu News

A nationwide parasite outbreak is on the rise, with over 145 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis since May—and experts suspect the real number could be over 1,000. Usually found in travelers, this bug is now linked to contaminated fresh produce like lettuce, basil, and raspberries. Symptoms include nasty diarrhea, cramps, and fatigue that can linger for weeks. Doctors urge anyone with diarrhea lasting more than a week to see a doctor, especially pregnant women, young kids, and immunocompromised folks. Stay safe: wash all produce thoroughly and trim off any bruised parts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
