Cyclosporiasis Surge in Quebec | Canada News

Cyclosporiasis cases in Quebec have surged this summer, jumping from 40 to 140 between May and July—mostly tied to trips to Mexico. Caused by a water or food-borne parasite, the illness causes watery diarrhea but is treatable with antibiotics. While no active outbreaks are underway in Canada, the spike raises alarms about food safety and climate change’s role: warmer, wetter conditions may be helping the parasite spread. The U.S. is seeing over 4,000 cases linked to iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico, underscoring how global food chains connect us all. Experts warn we shouldn’t panic, but can’t ignore the growing risks either. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
