Michigan Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Explained | Detroit News

Michigan is facing a shocking surge in cyclosporiasis cases, with over 9,200 reported as of July 27—far exceeding the usual annual total of 50. The outbreak, which exploded in late June, has hit nearly every county, with Wayne, Ingham, and Oakland leading the charge. Over 160 people have been hospitalized, and the CDC is now investigating multiple U.S. clusters, including a suspected link to Taco Bell’s lettuce supplier. While contaminated produce like lettuce was initially suspected, officials confirm this is not a single-source outbreak. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and nausea, lasting weeks without treatment, prompting many Americans to avoid produce. Health departments are on high alert as cases continue to climb.
