Episode Details

A major cyclospora outbreak is hitting the U.S., with over 2,000 people across 21 states sickened—mostly from contaminated fresh produce. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and cramping, with a 2- to 2-week lag between exposure and illness making tracing tough. Michigan is hardest hit, with 1,200 cases—25x its annual average—and dozens hospitalized from dehydration. Ohio also sees heavy numbers. Experts say the sheer scale of cases is actually helping investigators zero in on the source. Until then, wash all produce and your hands—simple steps that could save you from this nasty bug.
