Virginia Health Alert: Outbreaks on the Rise | Virginia Beach News

Virginia’s health officials are sounding the alarm on a surge in Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, with over 60 outbreaks in September alone, while also tracking a rise in cyclosporiasis — a parasite-triggered gut infection causing watery diarrhea, cramps, and nausea — with 10 cases reported statewide, expected to climb through fall. Though not new, cases are trending up from 116 last year and 191 the year before. The key? Wash produce, sanitize hands, and avoid person-to-person spread — because this bug travels through contaminated food and water. Stay sharp.
