Kansas is facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak, with 50 confirmed cases since June—up from last year’s total. Nationwide, over 1,600 cases have been confirmed since May, with thousands more suspected. Symptoms like watery diarrhea and cramps can appear up to two weeks later and may come and go, lasting weeks. Dehydration is the main danger, especially for vulnerable groups. The parasite spreads through contaminated food or water, often from imported produce. Don’t panic over fruits and veggies, but wash them thoroughly, cook them, and practice good hygiene.
