Michigan Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Surges | Augusta Georgia News

Michigan is facing a shocking outbreak of cyclosporiasis, with over 11,000 cases — far surpassing the usual 50 annual cases — and two deaths linked to the parasite, both in vulnerable individuals. The CDC has traced the outbreak to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico, urging caution with produce: buy whole heads, discard outer leaves, scrub thoroughly, or cook greens. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and cramps; if you’re experiencing them, get tested with a stool sample and seek care. Stay vigilant — this is the worst outbreak in years.
