Cyclosporiasis Outbreak: Salad Safety Alert | Lansing News

Cyclosporiasis is spreading fast—over 7,000 cases confirmed in Michigan, with hospitalizations climbing past 100. Lettuce and salad greens are the suspected culprits, but no specific brand has been identified yet. The parasite is tough to kill with regular washing, so experts urge you to buy whole heads of lettuce, discard outer leaves, and wash inner leaves thoroughly—or better yet, cook them. If you’re getting frequent watery diarrhea, ask your doctor to test for cyclospora. Stay vigilant with your greens.
