Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Traces to Lettuce | Toledo News

Cyclosporiasis cases are surging in northwest Ohio and Michigan, with numbers skyrocketing in just days—Lucas County alone jumped from 852 to 967 cases, and Michigan’s tally climbed past 6,100. While the FDA initially blamed Taylor Farms lettuce, later retracted that after a false positive, health officials still suspect their Mexican-grown lettuce as a possible source. Investigators believe contamination likely occurred upstream, during farming or processing. Experts advise consumers to buy whole heads of lettuce and discard outer leaves, and to wash all produce thoroughly under running water—especially if you’re cooking it. The hunt for the source is on, and staying vigilant is your best defense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
