The CDC is investigating a nationwide increase in Cyclospora infections after more than 840 cases were reported across 31 states, including more than a dozen in Georgia. Doctors say severe diarrhea and dehydration are the most common symptoms, with some patients experiencing dozens of episodes a day. Health experts urge anyone with persistent diarrhea to ask specifically to be tested for Cyclospora, as it is not included in routine lab work. At Trees Atlanta's Junior TreeKeeper Camp, children are exploring Atlanta's urban forest through hands-on environmental education and BeltLine adventures. Camp leaders say the program helps the next generation understand the importance of protecting local ecosystems, while campers are learning simple ways to support wildlife and care for the environment.
