Maryland Reports Surge in Cyclosporiasis Cases | Washington DC News

Maryland’s health department is sounding the alarm over a major cyclosporiasis outbreak, with 148 confirmed cases — 144 since May — causing severe stomach issues like diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. While some infections were picked up abroad, many were acquired locally, and the source remains unknown. The CDC reports over 6,700 domestic cases nationwide since May, often linked to contaminated food or water. States like Virginia are also hit hard, with outbreaks tied to specific produce like iceberg lettuce at fast-food chains. Health officials are urging everyone to watch for symptoms and take precautions.
