Caused by a parasite spread through contaminated produce, the illness triggers explosive diarrhea and is not typically fatal. Health officials are now investigating Taco Bell as a potential link, especially after Detroit locations pulled lettuce and pico de gallo.

The CDC is still reviewing thousands of potential cases, while California reports no surge or connection to the outbreak.
