Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell | San Jose News

A massive cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping across 31 states, with over 800 confirmed cases — and Michigan alone may have more than 3,000. Caused by a parasite spread through contaminated produce, it leads to severe watery diarrhea and is often ignored until symptoms become unbearable. Taco Bell is now under investigation after Michigan locations pulled lettuce, cilantro, and pico de gallo — though no specific culprit has been identified yet. This outbreak is already four times larger than last year’s, and experts warn the real number is likely much higher. Stay safe: wash all produce thoroughly and always wash your hands before and after handling food. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
