Cyclosporiasis Surge in North Carolina | Raleigh News

North Carolina’s facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with over 560 cases since May — up sharply from last week — and 16 hospitalizations linked to the parasite. Officials haven’t found a single source yet, but uncooked produce like parsley, cilantro, and lettuce are under investigation. The FDA is tracking clusters nationwide, some resolved, others still active. Schools in NC have temporarily removed certain veggies from menus as a precaution. Experts urge thorough washing, cooking where possible, and strict hand hygiene to prevent infection. Symptoms include diarrhea, fatigue, and nausea — though no deaths have been reported. Most recover, but if you’re sick, see a doctor — treatments can ease symptoms and shorten illness. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
