Cyclosporiasis Outbreak: Stay Safe with Food Prep | Venice Beach News

A nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak is surging, with over 1,600 confirmed cases across 34 states — including a major spike in Michigan, New York, and North Carolina. Though Los Angeles County remains unaffected, health officials urge caution: wash produce thoroughly, sanitize hands, and keep raw veggies separate from ready-to-eat foods. Caused by a parasite from contaminated food or water, this illness can leave you dehydrated and sick for weeks — not something you want to risk. California reports only 41 cases this year, down from last year, but vigilance is still key. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
